I had to install bluestacks to play the game, and I'm glad I did, because I really enjoyed this! The command of language is really strong. It felt like playing a stream-of-consciousness poem, building on wordplay and interplay between words.

This was interesting, and unlike pretty much anything I’ve played before.
I wasn’t able to quite understand who all the named characters were–sometimes they seemed to be different names for the same character, and sometimes not. I’m not sure if that’s because of the 4 hour limit, or if this was a tie-in to another game (or series of game). Some of the dialogue made me think the latter, but maybe not?
I speak Japanese, and did appreciate the wordplay!
What program should we use to open this file?
Because it looks like it needs some sort of emulator but you don't indicate one...
It’s actually an Android package file, designed to run on any Android device. I was able to open it in Bluestacks, which is a free Android emulator for Windows and Mac: https://www.bluestacks.com/ (But Bluestacks is kind of large, as an FYI. It goes through a gig or so’s worth of “downloading” screens after you install it.) Once you install Bluestacks, just click the “my games” button on the main screen, which is shaped like a heart, and it will give you an option to install from a local APK file.
You sould be able to install it directly on an Android device, as well, if you have one but you’ll need to enable installs from unknown sources first: https://support.google.com/android/thread/107226949/how-do-i-allow-download-from-unknown-sources?hl=en (This is generally a bad idea to leave turned on, so I’d recommend turning it off again after playing this, if you go this route!)
