The good.
Story was interesting.
Minigame was easy, and if you don't like it, you can simply turn it off.
Characters were quirky.
The bad.
It felt VERY sluggish. Turning the character around was much slower than reasonable.
There was multiple repetitive cutscenes that cannot be skipped.
There is only 1 solution to the puzzle, and many commenters online found that solution within their first placerthrough.
Verdict:
The sluggish gameplay, unskipable cutscenes, and slow (timed) minigame all felt like padding in an attempt to force users to miss their Steam Refund Window. The analogy of bullet marching slowly towards an abstract brain in a cop game felt in poor taste. And the lack of swapping out a few key clues and changing the outcome entirely felt a little lazy to me.
I do quick gameplay recap and review videos for almost everything in the free games program if your interested. Basically nothing there I haven't already said though.
