This is not a free game. It's a product for those with more money than
sense. Check out that price!

A one-room map with nothing to do in it. Because
spending your money wisely is definitely not the point of
this game. My only complaint is the lack of numerous (and
equally priced) DLC packs to go with it. I mean, what if
I don't like the red carpet? I demand the right to have
a WHITE carpet! Or blue? Or green? Why won't you take
my money?!?!?!


The sad thing is, even if they just intended it as sad commentary on
our society, you just KNOW that the developer are still going to make
bank on this product. And that we'll probably see dozens of imitators
soon to follow.

I love gag games like this, but admittedly it is a bit icky that the dev
still does get the 1000$, especially with how there's an AI disclosure
implying they didn't even bother to actually code this. Play The
Corridor instead lol

That fact that the developer is getting so much from the game doesn't
actually bother me that much. Nor does the fact that they put so
little effort into it. It's a commentary on people who have way too
much money and too little sense on how to use it, and if you're stupid
enough to be taken advantage of a game like this --which is outright
telling you that you are stupid for being taken advantage of by buying
this game-- then let the developer get all that cash.

I can't imagine there will be that many sales though, so I expect they
won't be doing much more than breaking even anyway.

I see what you did there ;-)


However, were it ever to go free, even The Number recommends you avoid
this 'game'. The Number, she can be very fickle!
