This was unexpectedly pretty good. I didn't really care about the game this was based on and I don't think you need to know anything about the game to enjoy this film. I have always liked "The Backrooms" type of stuff with liminal spaces and the like and this captures the paranoia that would entail extremely well. The characters in this are interesting and how they connect is fascinating. I wonder how I would do in this scenario, because I feel like it's a bad idea to rush through this maze.

I was wondering where I recognized Nana Komatsu from and then checked my Letterboxd and saw that I saw her in the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable movie and The World of Kanako. Both of those movies are pretty great and lent to an uncanny feeling of seeing her before.

It's a pretty interesting movie that's very simple but very well done. I have some small nitpicks here and there, but I have a feeling that this film will grow on me!
