Reviews

[Ania · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good, short and entertaining. The ending, despite the violence, was really good too.

[Frank Davis · Rating 4 out of 5]

Super short symbiote concept with a sharp twist of a finish. This is a cool little exploration of Earth through the eyes of an alien that really could have been expanded. I would put money down that you won't see the ending coming!

If you’re a Darwinist, then it’s racist. If you understand what I mean you really know evo/genetics!
