"a perfect girl is evil"

🖤🖤🖤

🟩 good music
🔷 interesting vibes
🔴 weak puzzles and platforming

vibes: moody

loops: linear first person adventure with some puzzles and platforming

states: finished 2 out of 2? endings

ramblings: i enjoyed it for its surreal unsettling ambience, good atmospheric music, and snowman jokes. but everything else is just sort of eh. the game feels like it has an identity crisis.
 · it classifies itself as a "postmodern edutainment" game, but the kanji concept is very underutilized, many of the puzzles that use it you can even just ignore the kanji. there are doors that require picking the correct word, english words, why not kanji? there's cipher puzzles, which were actually sort of interesting, and they also don't incorporate kanji.
 · it has some platformer elements. there are random pits and spikes, but they're never a challenge, just a minor obstacle to break up the hallways. there are sections with more, moving platforms and such, nothing terribly difficult. though i'm glad it wasn't more because it's first person and there's zero air control so it all just feels clunky.
 · there's a moment with what is essentially a boss battle (in a lesbian void dimension?) but it's so short, comes out of nowhere in the middle of the game, and ends without any fanfare. that could have been really interesting with just a bit more something, it feels very abrupt and underdeveloped.

verdicts: rather mixed feelings. the game doesn't seem to really commit to any of its own ideas, leaving it falling kind of flat and sorta run of the mill. but i did enjoy the vibes, the soundtrack, and the weird obsession the rabbit has with snowmen.
