This game has a really neat idea, and it plays with your brain a bit. The story at the time really added to the mood of the game and how interesting it turned out in the end.
For the cons... the game got a bit repetitive after a while, and it's not very interesting if you don't read the game description on this page (as I found out when I first played it- sorry!).
However, there are a lot of positives- there's a lot of nice attention to detail, like the working clock on the wall! Also, I liked the fact that it was written in java since it means I can poke around and mod it as I understand the language.
Overall, a really interesting game that has obviously had a lot of effort put into it- well done! :D
Also nice atempt on a serious topic!
personally didnt like the graphics but its still a good game
