YouFindYourselfInARoom I played this game quite some time ago, and gave it a relatively unfair review in retrospect. So recently, I went and decided to try the game again; With a much less biased and harsh mindset, and much more level head.
As suspected, my opinion on the game hadn't really changed since the last time I played it. I found the game's dialogue to be obnoxious, almost as if a 7th-grader who just learned how to curse wrote it, and the whole narrative to be incredibly pretentious and a very poor attempt at being "psychological".
I find the concept of an 'existential' text-based adventure game to be quite interesting, but YFYIAR's idea of 'existentialism' is incredibly childish and repetitive. The game's attempt at insulting the player, in an attempt to make them feel scared, helpless, and alone didn't click with me or work at all; If anything, I found it just got more and more tiring to read as the game goes on. I didn't feel the 'abusiveness' or the 'abrasiveness' to be very effective at all, and it started to feel more and more like a teen's angry Blockland Forums drama post. It had some vaguely funny dialogue every once in a while, but I still found it got ruined by the amount of weepy ragebait that the game keeps throwing at you per minute.
Overall, the game didn't do a great job at what it set out to do; but I found that what it set out to do was very interesting and with some touch-ups I find that this could've been a pretty interesting horror experience.
...Meh.
