Title
Yeah, I really don't know what to say about this one. It's a walking simulator (with very, very minor RPG elements including a battle system that's essentially just Pong) that takes place far off into the future where Mars is colonized and also everyone has dog faces after humanity gave theirs up to aliens long ago. You and your team of investigators from Earth are sent to the Mars colony due to reports of evil stuff going on, and also it's Christmas. You also have DID and have to solve occasional puzzles by flipping between your 3 other personalities at the appropriate times.

That's about where any of the coherency in the plot ends, and the rest is 10-12 hours of a very bizarre psychological thriller story exploring a lot of characters' individual past traumas and abuse that somehow manages to become even more deranged by the final hour. I don't know if it's the recent English fan translation or the game was just like this from the get go, but it's an incoherent roller coaster but one you really won't want to look away from because every 20 minutes of wandering around trying to figure out what the hell you're supposed to be doing gets interrupted by another fucking bonkers plot beat that makes you forget momentarily how not very fun this actually is to play.

If you like super high concept and slightly pretentious narratives, you might get a kick out of this one. If you have a normal brain, you'd be okay to skip this one if you aren't invested after the first hour or so.

    One of the most unique and creative games I've ever played, cannot wait for the Kowloon's Gate translation to release
