About
You may like this if you’re drawn to cold, slow-burn character studies with bleak atmosphere and long stretches of routine, similar in spirit to Sieranevada; Not for you if you want fast pacing, clear answers, or lighter viewing.
Pros: bleak, immersive mood; natural daily routine; unsettling character study | Cons: very long runtime; slow, frustrating pace; opaque motivations
