Reviews

[Brandy · Rating 3 out of 5]

Hard to say exactly what's going on here. Could be a weird dystopia he's living in (a place where people screen his mail and spy on him to see what he's up to), or it could just be some people messing with him. No idea who the target audience is for this one. I like it, but I don't claim to fully get everything about it.
