The simple mechanics did what they set out to do though they didn’t hold my attention for long. I was more interested in the narrative, though at some point I abruptly died and (presumably) lost access to it.

A little bit of juice in the way of sound effects and perhaps some screen flashes would’ve gone a disproportionate way toward making this feel more mechanically engaging.

My first playthrough I was still getting the hang of it. After I actually RTFM it was a lot better experience (go figure, right?) The play itself was okay, walk around, shoot and smash demons and pick up treasures for points. Pretty straightforward. However, the prose got me. As a writer myself, I really enjoyed what seemed like very personal accounts of the progression of transphobia in the US. I also like how, as the game progresses it adds more "Red-isms" to the log on the right. Very cool! 

I got a kick out of it.  It's a simple but very playable roguelike.  Somehow the finite area for each level feels like more of a feature than a limitation, but on the downside, the basic level generation system kinda' hinders the exploration aspect and makes the backtracking more tedious.  Still felt good to play.
