I like the quirky tone of this one, and the sound design, visuals and writing all work well together. Duality of meaning was a fun angle for the theme.
Gameplay is pretty fun, but I never beat it. I know with these types of games you're supposed to be at the mercy of the RNG, and some runs are gonna be rougher than others.
But for several I never found the knife, or got surrounded by Slimes with no-where to run. After 7 goes I threw in the towel.
I could have tried more but the interface was just too clunky for me. Seems to be a stylistic choice based on the other reviews but I couldn't get on with it. More than anything, I just really wanted a toggle map key.
