Reviews

An unfortunate amount of work


(0.5 stars)

This is clearly an orchestration of work. Very well executed. Unfortunately it is poorly conceived. I would rather not even comment except to save someone their precious 5 minutes of time arriving at the same conclusion as I did. I imagine this to be a regret to all involved; good effort.
