A decent story grounded and yet surreal. Honestly burnt out on them, but you can feel some authenticity in the dialogue you may not find from other eastern block visual novels.

Eigengrau is the uniform dark gray background color that many people report seeing in the absence of light. I Did Not Buy This Ticket is a mesmerizing surreal experience/journey with a great visual style, well written story, interesting character encounters and decisions resulting is multiple endings. Manual saving is allowed at any point. I enjoyed it very much.

I am normally not a fan of "psychological horror" but "I Did Not Buy This Ticket" was an inventive, surreal, and fun take on the genre. Much more than just the "it was all in the protagonist's head" style story telling. Beautiful art and short but engaging story. If it seems like something that would appeal to you I suggest you give it a shot.

A decent visual novel that shines with it's unique artwork. Unless you plan on multiple playthroughs, I'd suggest getting it on sale as the price doesn't really reflect the content.

This was a cool game! The art style and music are great, if not a bit choppy during scene changes. (That could be my potato computer, though!) I appreciate games that make me think and feel deeper than the surface level. IDNBTT is a lean experience that challenges the player to do just that. I really loved my first playthrough. I look forward to running it back a couple more times.
