★ — 6/10 It's decent but has its flaws and is maybe a bit too short.

If I could, I would give this short experience a maybe. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad but personally, I didn't find it to be immersive enough for what it wants to be and the story wasn't that interesting either. However, it's short and free which is why I think it's at least worth checking out if you're looking for a small distraction or something to pass about 30 minutes.

The first thing I'd like to mention because it really stood out to me, is the controls. They definitely need some work as they are super floaty and it feels like pushing the button once makes the character you're playing as take multiple steps. This also made it hard to maneuver around to actually be able to look at things and inspect them.

There are quite a number of items spread across the apartment but hardly any of them seem to be of significance which made it feel kind of pointless to even look at them. I still did though, which made come across something that made me chuckle, the newspapers and their lengthy stories about Lisa's shoe addiction.

Being someone who really enjoys puzzles in games, I wish there would've been a couple of more puzzles to solve but there's only one small puzzle that takes no time to figure out if you take a good look around. I pretty much solved the puzzle before I even knew what exactly it was for.

As for the story, I wish there would've been a little more to it. It would've been nice to get to know the two main characters a little more. Sure, one can piece a little bit of background information about them together when looking through the available items and reading the notes and what not but I felt there was a lack of depth to the characters.

In general, it's an okay experience and since it's free, one can't really complain too much. Since this seems to be the developer's first published game, I'll cut them some slack and simply see this as an experiment to learn from. I'd definitely like to see something else in the future, though.
