Like the messages, but it’s too allegorical.

There are some parts which were funny, but for the most part it’s just trying to one-up A Clockwork Orange and commodifies itself for the purposes of exploitation.

It can be boring and Brechtian at times, but it’s a giant middle finger which I find quite endearing.

dark medium-paced
Grimy and distrustful of human nature. Claustrophobically dense with snowballing depravity.

Such a fun world to experience. The claustraphobia of this apartment complex was palpable at times. Hearing these characters desend into madness and an all out class war in an interesting setting like this was really a delight!
