As someone mentioned, it's in the top 5,000. Yeah. Long story short. Now, this game is very similar to another game called Fate Flip.

In fact, there's there's two of them here. I haven't played the second one, but let me show you. So, there's two here. This is Carmen and Carlos. I didn't play the second one because, well, I didn't love the first one. So, long story short, we have a little deck of cards here, which again you should not shuffle. And you'll read the back of the card. And then it tells you how to reset the game. And you're you And then this tells you don't ever read the back of the cards because in this game you're going to be playing through and flipping cards and turning cards over and things are going to happen to you. So, this game assumes that you are a person who your life motto is TLDR. Too long, don't read. Because this is the story. Officer, am I going to obey him?

Says, "Experience a whole adventure in a handful of words." That doesn't appeal to me at all. Don't get me wrong. I don't need a game that gives me paragraphs and paragraphs of text.

But that this other game, and I mean, we really do need to say, "Hey, Watch It Shore is kind of similar to this." This has a lot of story in it. I don't think Watch It Shore is very good, but I think Long Story Short is actively bad. This one for me is a four out of 10. I just don't like it. It's a quick, dirty, short little game with quick thing. So, four for me. Um not real big fan of it. And why would you buy it? I mean, if you play it a few times,
