The Good
It's short and only little dependent on puzzles. You're free to just follow the short story and not deal with unfitting puzzles. The opening is nicely innocuous, too. There are plenty of people who have slept in and are in a rush to get to work.

The Bad
The pivotal part of the game is simply undisclosed information. Once you know the simple secret to it all, there's really not much left to it. The story is extraordinarily simple and relies completely on not knowing the "punch line."

The Bottom Line
No harm in playing it once. It'll only take 10 minutes or so out of your life and it's free. Go ahead and download it.

The Good
The game itself is a puzzle. You can solve it in 2 moves, but most people probably won't. It's a neat, non-traditional game that people who are interested in IF theory will find interesting.

Once you solve the puzzle, you should play through it again to check out the details you missed on the first time through. And, in fact, you can play it through to a successful end without the puzzle being solved -- so try it again if you are still confused.

Usually I don't like games that conceal information until either you die or end the game. Since this is a very short game (even 2 or 3 replays can be done in about 10 minutes), though, it doesn't bother me as much here.

The Bad
Some players may find it "unfair" upon solving the puzzle; this is where the IF theory comes in. It calls the mechanics of the game into question, in a similar fashion (though not exactly the same) to Agatha Christie's "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd".

The Bottom Line
A neat idea. Short, fun game that gains when replayed.
