About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a dark, offbeat mystery that mixes uneasy humor with creeping dread, in a similar vein to Dear Ex or Classmates Minus; Not for you if explicit sexual content and grim themes are dealbreakers.
Pros: darkly funny tone; sharp social bite; tense slow build | Cons: crude sexual content; bleak mood; uncomfortable subject matter
