These only up games have almost no reward mechanism which is crazy to me. The gameplay is basically nothing, or actively annoying and the ONLY reward mechanism present is getting a little bit higher each time. But the punishment is having to re-do every bit of mediocre gameplay along the way. Not to mention that a "Silent Narrative" still needs to...you know...BE a narrative. Nothing in this game is linked to a story. I like the audio design and the aesthetic is pretty cool, but this needs more.
