July 2025
This game is extremely cool and fun TBH!! (To elaborate a bit more, I think this game does a great job of creating a gimmick that is both interesting on its face and also acts as a great vehicle for gameplay. I was kind of worried the "windows" element of the game would be kind of meaningless, or annoying, for the sake of the gimmick, but no, the window elements tie into the gameplay very nicely and this game is just simply very fun to play as a result. Both fun as an idea and fun in execution, which I think is fantastic!) The dragons in this game get a rating of 0/10, for no dragons.

Poorly optimized. I have a pretty good PC, and I am crashing a whole lot. Really good game, just buy once they fix the crashes.

If you're familiar with the limitations and clunkiness of the Windows API and how ancient the roots of the Desktop Window Manager (DWM) on NT-based versions of Windows is, this game is an absolute technological marvel.
