Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: So many systems in actual production really do have user interfaces that are almost this bad. It’s very cute that it ends with the clock flashing 12:00.
Con: It’s light and simple with no real substance.
From the ending, it's hard to say whether this is humor or horror.
