deanchaudhri's review

challenging mysterious slow-paced

3.0

the main characters rly took the phrase “go piss girl” to a whole other level and that is all i will say on that. maybe this was a bit too abstract for me or maybe i just needed to be on psychadelics to rly grasp it. if u like queer surrealism horror-ish stuff (with lots of biology references) u may like this !
