Praise for [redacted] Life

"A twisting, turning plotline, some brilliant deconstructions of gaming culture, and some innovative fourth wall breaks (to tell you any more would be to ruin the game)."
- Brian Ennis, Five Great Indie Horror Games You Can Play For Free on Itch.io

"Highlight of the [NaNoRenO 2016] jam for me! This had a great mix of funny, tense and surreal elements that gelled together the writing, art and even the UI & gameplay. Go play it if you haven't already!"
- Sleepy Agents, ADVaANCE Magazine

"To prospective players: This is a game you have to experience to appreciate. Even if, like me, this didn't seem like your thing, check it out anyway. It's short, and in 20 minutes it will reaffirm your faith that a Ren'Py game can still surprise you."
- Goblin Market
