Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
eggs as existential, surrealist, absurd questions with no true answer. a few characters, sprinkled throughout, ask this question with varying results of "what if...?"

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
and "do you really want an answer" that feels very relevant given the post-apocalyptic atmosphere of an arctic base with soldiers openly carrying rifles and everyone smoking while being governed by some no-council, "all-knowing" being. the setting here is done perfectly, the writing fits, and the gameplay: simple, unique, and barely outstays its welcome!

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The soundtrack and the overall gameplay mechanics are very well done.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
This along with its unashamed low-poly graphics create a cozy and nostalgic atmosphere in an otherwise dreary landscape.

Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
Mechanically, yeah, it's a cooking game, but it's short and surprisingly fun without being too hard or bogged down in busy work.

Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
i have to give a BIG disclaimer that i think this is best enjoyed with a controller, to be on the safe side.
