This game would probably just be 3 stars like most of the games I rate (fun, I enjoyed it most of the time, but nothing more...although I think that's enough for most video games)

I enjoy games a lot of times for knowing how other people enjoy the hobby or where a game stands in the history/zeitgeist of gaming. This is a good example of that, I will probably not seek out other games like this and I would understand if it turned off most people within 20 minutes or less.

If you think you don't/won't like this game, there's no reason to push yourself through it. It's amusing and clever, but not shockingly so, and any developments won't be worth it if you're having a bad time.

But telling my wife what I was doing and updating her over a day or two about what was happening while she just rolled her eyes and said "You're a ridiculous person" endeared this game a lot more to me.

Played this for a while after seeing it posted to Hacker News.

Was planning on stopping because generally these clicker games are endless time sinks, but saw it mentioned that this game is beatable in 3-8 hours so I persisted.

Weird premise with some weirder turns, but all in all a good game that took just the right amount of my time.
