Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
63 of 200 sampled reviews raised it
The story itself was a fascinating read, it was reminiscent of many Harlan Ellison stories.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
15 of 200 sampled reviews raised it
It reimagines typing—a mundane, everyday action—as a central gameplay mechanic, and pairs it with driving to create a unique multitasking challenge.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
7 of 200 sampled reviews raised it
I love the art style and the radio but it also seemed like the tracks for the radio were designed/chosen to make it as hard to hear when you're not typing anymore because you made an error, or are about to crash as possible.
