This is definitely a short, sweet work of art that's trying to make a point. It definitely speaks to me on a deep level since I don't like the norms of capitalism either. This game is a story of a very depressed man who goes through a major existential crisis. Then he decides to finally make changes to his life to be more true to himself and be happier.

If you want to support smaller game devs, want to encourage more exploration and innovation of ideas in games, and want to have different experiences when playing games, then I'd absolutely recommend this to you.
Which means...
It's not for everybody. You might want more "game" in your game, which is absolutely fair since you're not going to get it here. This is not about escapism or challenges or competition, it's about ideas and social commentary. If you want to immerse yourself into a world for hundreds of hours, test your skills, or compete in an arena, then is probably not for you.
I would love to see this idea fleshed out and developed into an immersive experience, with a compelling story about the mundanity of modern life. What the devs have done here is brave, and kudos to them for putting it out. Give them some money if you can spare it.

This is a beautifully impactful game that I found myself getting lost in (which I feel may be one of the points).
There are multiple aspects, such as mini-game-like functions, which help add to the interest and the overall story. You find yourself losing track of time and sometimes frustrated in what feels like endless tasks/activities (and potentially are endless- I'm talking about you, blipblop).
In contrast to other reviews, I liked the movement. It reminded me of Resident Evil in the aspect of perspective changes and the awkwardness that comes with it. It added to the frustrating and inconvenient aspect of the story.
Overall, I fell in love with the game and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys story-rich games. The description is correct; it will stick with you. I don't recommend it for people going through existential crises, or maybe I do; it might help.

Seeking Color In the Dull Cycle...
This game is about a charecter that you play that lives the same day and day life style of going to work that looks like that he is struggling to seek out adventure and "color/ meaning" to it. as you play the game you notice the charecter that you are controlling is hard on trying to seek out to find his purpose in his life and is making up certain scenarios out in his mind to keep him going when it comes to the talking fish or the butterfly that is flying near him and seeking him out. In the world where he is isolated and no one wants to be around him, nor wanting to acknowlege him at all either. With the stressors of his work of showing up late so he finds himself seeking his outlet in his mind...
I got this game with a bundle sale years back it is a good play but not worth at full price.

Really good game learn me too hate clicking game to a point.
The game is around 2 hours long without side quest.
The sides quest are just a clicking game I think the developpers wanted to make a point that we waste too much time on our phone I think they succed for a bit but I mean if you want to do all the achievement that is basically a clicking game.
I highly recomend this game.

fascinating and notably vibe filled little game here. perhaps a bit "on the nose" (heavily and too frequently) to be marked as a true classic.... but nonetheless a beautiful meditation on the unsettling nature of modern day western society, and on the the hollowness reverberating among people chasing the unfruitful mission of trying to escape said society due to the generally low quality state of modern digital time consumers / entertainment...
also (and perhaps most importantly) an impactful, abstracted yet realistic and non-glamorous depiction of the experience of deep and insurmountable depression which sources its energy from within you while opportunistically being nurtured by external factors.
certainly a dejecting downer of a game, but i think that's the whole point and it was done quite well. i commend the people responsible for this game. thank you for reminding me that there is still beauty to be found in all of the shit, and for reminding me to re-activate my quest to find a new psychotherapist :)
