Why DO people lie?

The description is not wrong. The aim of the game seems to be to figure out what to do. It's got some interesting design and it has a a companion game that is also pretty cool. Check it out! https://youtu.be/anr7qDPOFvA

The game is just not worth the money. I saw the negative reviews and decided to give it a chance, but the entire game is an ice level with no ability to change sensitivity. If you hit escape for settings it exits you from the game, and if you don't have an extra 3 hours to scour every inch to find the last few cacti and doors you need to complete the game, then you're SOL because the game does not save your progress. If it saved, I would've recommended it, because the controls were doable, but I just can't have fun knowing I was 5 things away from what I believed to be completion, and would have to start all over again.

This game has terrible controls. There is no way to adjust the mouse sensitivy and it is on a ridiculously high speed. After playing it I felt sick worse than like reading on the bus. It might also be from the changing colors of the environment. It was also a bit interesting and creative although the graphics are very blocky. But it was too much of a mind f*ck to continue playing.

this game benefited from letting you figure it out for yourself, but while I will say while there were quite impressive uses of symbolism to make a point, the other major element of gameplay is first person platforming, which does not control very well. another criticism I have is that there is a mix of aesthetics: either do bright, stark block colours or do realistic textures, doing both doesn't look good, and makes your game lack artistic coherence, overall good effort but next time use a more structured progression with your use of symbolism to tell a more direct story, your indirect method doesn’t present enough to make up for the lack of good gameplay elsewhere.
