Review
I'm giving it four stars just because the meta, game within a game elements were quite intriguing, even if there's not much else to the game. A really interesting use of code where each replay is just a bit different from the last (well, your first three plays in the game at least will all have a bit of different text and some new options to reflect that you have played this game before, with your MC getting a bit of deja vu and whatnot). You absolutely have to replay it to get the full experience, probably a few times, though I only made it 2.5 times before I just code dived to sate the rest of my curiosity.
Which is when I realised...there's really not much else to it. Like even the big mystery at the end (you might want to Google) just...didn't feel worth solving.
I guess I just expected to be rewarded more for replays, like have a chance to actually find out something meaningful about the game or do something that mattered, but I'm really not seeing anything substantial on either front. It's possible I'm missing something though.
In the end, my initial intrigue morphed into a feeling of emptiness. The game is as meaningless of the life of the MC. Despite its introspective, philosophical kind of writing style, it really doesn't seem to say or do much. At least not for me.
Worth a couple plays if you like seeing people do cool things with code. Just be warned that you won't get a ton in terms of character development or a satisfying narrative; these things aren't at all the point of the game.
