Number one, Aesthetics Over Plot - ~~~
Positives
This experience was funny and weird, but a genuinely entertaining game to play. Maybe random does equal comedy!

Plot Deconstruction
So you are a biologist that was laid off from their job a year ago and your goal is to go to your friend’s party and network with as many bosses as possible! You will meet an unimaginably cool donkey, an interesting fellow whose name you can’t remember, and, of course, a telepathic cactus. Look your best, talk your best, and feel your best in order to get a job offer and save yourself from homelessness!

My Questions/Notes
Here are some random thoughts that arose during my playthrough
- Someone threw flour on my T-shirt… Taking the bus was a mistake.
- I love how we’re just grabbing random spiders now.
- My Donkey escapades - We have to impress the donkey!! Seconds later - I insulted the donkey, noooo. More seconds later - I lost after apologizing to the donkey.
He was too cool for school
- OKAY! TIME TO FLIRT WITH THE CACTUS. 2 seconds later - Aww, flirting got me nowhere.
- Love the Achievements - The James Bond one was great

Criticisms
There were some grammatical errors, but I usually got the overall gist of the passage. Most of the choices are linear as well, but I enjoyed the writing more than the freedom of choice so I didn’t mind.

Overall Impression
Great, fun game! Nice way to start off Spring Thing.
