I've already played this game, and it was fucking weird.

I mean that in the best way I can. I got it off the recommendation of a friend, and knew nothing about it going in. I left confused, unsure of what it was I just played, but ultimately satisfied with it.

This is not a game you play to have fun. This is a game you play if you want a trip.

Meh, I still say Berzerk is closer; it did actually kill several people after all ;p

I feel like I played it wrong.
I finished it with about half the tickets, then the game told me to uninstall it and so I did. I didn't even hit the 2h mark, and I don't feel like I rushed it, either.

The experience was fun, I guess, but it felt like a demo.

After putting up to 25 hours into this game (about 7 of those hours in an insomniatic slumber of "it's over nine thousand" and "you lose") and 100% everything [including achievements] (and the game knew it), I honestly think this was the most awesome experience I've had with a video game as of 2016... It even made me laugh at the times that it frustrated me (like when I was trying not to kill Jesus) especially during the whole "true ending" sequence...

What's funny is that if you did get all the tickets (and played the final boss if you did this all on your first playthrough), then in the end, the game will tell you to do whatever with Pony Island at this point because you already got the [in-game] 100% completion...

This is not a game you play to have fun. This is a game you play if you want a trip.

Then, I must have been doing it for both...
