A relatively simple game (in terms of interaction) done in RPG Maker - the engine of which acts more of a sort of visual novel.

Join the adventures of Andy and Leyley or Andrew and Ashley, a pair of siblings stuck under a mysterious quarantine in a cynical world (Toxisoda!). Stuck in their apartment, alone, things slowly become out of control as they try to survive.

The writing is where this game shines. The banter between our two main characters is directly on point. It's always a blast to see what their next predicament will bring about. It starts usually with them arguing about the situation and then acting to get out of said situation... Given their fun banter, their hijinks almost always have a black humor vibe, akin to Quentin Tarintino's Pulp Fiction's Vincent Vega & Jules Winfield but siblings. Again, a narrative / plot heavy game, there is no combat and interactivity is very minimal. Despite that, the story is unique. I have not come across anything like it.

The art style is very interesting, the CGs and sprites. There are a myriad of character CGs for Andrew and Ashley drawn for the conversations that are expressive with their facial expressions & body language. The style for the CGs is somewhat basic but unique and effective. The dozen or so music tracks fit with the game and a few are nice "bops" that fit like a glove.

As of this writing, chapter 2 of the game was released and certain people think the dream (many online who have no context don't realize it's a hypothetical dream sequence) sequence is controversial, however before that point, our two protagonists do plenty of things that are actually controversial - without giving spoilers - don't toy with dark forces & watch out for Prion disease (as just a few things they get up to)!

I have very high hopes for this one man developer that chapter 3 will hopefully feature more interactivity in terms of gameplay mechanics in certain sections to enhance horror and to be more than essentially a visual novel. Regardless if the dev decides to implement more interactivity or not, I'm eagerly anticipating where the story goes, because this one is most certainly unique if not in premise, then in execution.

7/10 - want to hear more excellent Andrew & Ashley banter while trying to survive cynical and bleak world and I eagerly await to see what they get up to in the future chapter 3
