One of the many nice-looking, brutally short pseudo-videogames made by mainly visually oriented artists often with an at best minor interest in videogames as a medium that litter the bowels of Steam and itch.io. There's a table with some random junk on it. There's a cord hanging down from the top of the screen. You pull on it. Things happen. Then after 10 or so minutes of immersive, next-gen cord pulling action, it ends, leaving behind little more than a vague sense of slightly confused disappointment. A very shallow, forgettable experience that's difficult to recommend to anyone, even fans of short, weird art games. Pretty hilarious that it's storepage calls it an "interactive story", despite it featuring no narrative whatsoever. Deliberate attempt at subverting expectations or just a pretentious developer high on their own farts? I'll let you be the judge.
Final rating: 5.8/10
