I like a quirky game and this game definitely ticks that box simply from its setting alone. It seems that in this world we’re all being controlled by little people who manage our thoughts and feelings. We play as Ted, a little person inside the head of Theo. Ted’s the one in charge and has ultimate control over Theo, unfortunately Theo has awoken in a hospital bed and has suffered a rather major brain injury and no memory of how it occured. It’s Teds duty to get Theo back into full working order and solve the mystery of the missing memories, perhaps they can shed a light onto what happened.
This game is one part visual novel and one part management simulator with some quick time event mini-games thrown in for good measure.
Unfortunately this game has a few bugs, most are minor in nature such as some input not being recognised on occasion. Thankfully they didn’t stand in the way of me enjoying this game but I have a reasonably high tolerance for bugs (especially in indie games).
So can I recommend this game in good faith? Tentatively yes, the story makes it worthwhile but you will have to deal with the odd bug here and there.
