This game is currently broken. I don't think it will always be that way, and I'd be happy to change my review if that changes.
You play as a character who experiences a life-changing event that results in the implantation of an alien presence. You shift back and forth between a real world and an alien, and between linear parts and puzzle parts.
There is some strong language. I'm loving the storyline here and would love to see this fixed.
Edit:
The author has made several improvements, although it's not perfect. I completed all three chapters this time, and I really felt a connection with the author. The feeling of impending doom that cannot be escape is truly a relatable feeling after I faced a difficult job search this year.
I love dark, psychological/surreal settings, and this story called to me. Some small things still need tweaking, however.
