In on the first gamesession ever with this game, and had a hilarious time. In our session it became a strange and minimalistic game, with subtle repetitions of the non-playing state we all shared while reading the rules the first time.
A very strange experience which I believe many players will refute being a roleplaying game at all. But they will all be wrong, due to the simple ending of the game.
An advice for the eager playtester: DO NOT READ THE GAME BEFOREHAND! Gather 4-5 participants (including yourself), sit down and read the rules out loud.
Good luck!
