    As of version 0.0.7, graphics looks like they are taken out of some kind of video game as screenshots, they do not look handcrafted or good. Story is not very interesting. There isn't much choice to made that effects the direction of the story. There is too much text and too little image. Whole messaging infrastructure is trash. You don't know who sent you message or who you can send a message to, without going into the messages menu and look for a message to light up when you move your mouse on them. You cannot click on the image you got on a chat, you have to go to the main telephone screen, enter the gallery, find the image then click on it there and when you click on a image in the gallery, you cannot go back by pressing a button. Only way to exit from a image in the gallery is making it the wallpaper.

    As of short: bad and very little graphics, uninteresting story, and horrible game infrastructure.

    For a game that's going to be 90% interacting by reading messages, the writing really needs a beta, or some other kind of editor to double check. Pronouns in particular seem to be something the dev is struggling with, as it feels like a fair number of the characters swap gender at random when being talked about.
