Normally I hate story driven games but this one hit the mark for me. Great mix of humour and insight.

Reading the dialogue and looking at the world from two very different perspectives was quite enjoyable. It's great that the flow of the game makes both perspectives valid in certain contexts. \n\n![Screenshot_1.jpg](\/\/\/raw\/732\/a2\/z\/480c7.jpg)\n\nThe graphic side could use some work. The text would read much better if it was smaller and put on an actual text box. This mingled-with-the-background way is great for titles and small pieces of text, not so great for continuous dialogue. The walking animation feels kinda jerky and does not actually stop when you stop walking :wink: But the tone differences between the two worlds are great.\n\nWhat I didn't like were the dialogue sounds. They are too frequent and too overwhelming, making it harder to read rather than adding to the experience.

I liked seeing how the same interactions played out between the two different mindsets. I liked the talking sound effects at first but they became a little grating after a while as some other commenters pointed out. The rest of the audio was great though - the background tracks for each mindset really set the mood well! If I could change one thing, I would give the player the ability to switch between the two mindsets whenever they wanted. A couple of times I found myself wanting to be in a specific mode to talk to a specific person, but having to wait for it to switch before I could do so.
