the game has 6 endings which are hard to reach but worth the time to reach them. it took around 2 hours to reach the ending with help from a YT video after getting stuck

Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Other cool stuff: retro graphics and sound effects are greatly appreciated by anyone who gamed thru the 90s to early 2000s; the length and pacing is fun enough to just play a bit on your break or lunch; its highly replayable
