Karen’s daily struggle—wrangling dinner while cosmic forces rearrange her cutlery—mirrored my own battles with chaos, control, and the meaning of modern existence.A bit buggy when I played it, but over all a not serious, fun, short game.A bit buggy when I played it, but over all a not serious, fun, short game.Maybe the real Karen was the Eldritch horror we fought along the way.Why it fits
