While this game seems like it has a clear vision, that of a fun side scrolling platfomer, it frankly feels unfinished. All you get in this game is a title screen and a start button which drops you into one of several randomly selected short levels with a number of items scattered across them. At the end of the level you're given a rank depending on how many items you collected. Unfortunately though this rank isn't saved and you can't select which level you play. The only thing that you can do in this game is collect pieces of posters, which you've finished that the game is beat.

All of this is such a shame since I thought it'd be great given that it's a Firewatch spin off. Unfortunately though it's lacking a few small features, such as a level select screen, that would make it worth spending any significant amount of time with. What a disappointment.
