it’s a lovely game about dissolving a shared apartment at the end of university. and i found a lot of the musings very relatable. there is also a reference to kentucky route zero. so, there is that. the music by eli rainsberry is also phenomenal (tasty ambient guitar).

It's bad - really bad: "At the end of 2024, 4.5m children – 31% of all UK children – were in relative poverty, living in households earning less than 60% of the UK’s median income. And 18% of all children were growing up in food-insecure households, without consistent access to nutritious food."
Child poverty: how bad is it in the UK?
Four and a half million children are growing up without basic necessities in the UK.
