Charming little narrative/puzzle experience where you play a woman whose job it is to drive large monsters away from the outskirts of Bright City. Seeing as how you're one person and the last thing you'd want is an enraged kaiju tearing across the landscape, you need to find nonviolent ways to urge them to leave. The titans act as a backdrop for a larger hinted story which paradoxically suggests a future dystopia as she muses about regular lockdowns in her Bright City apartment smaller than a motel bathroom and a retro aesthetic as you toodle around the forested countryside in a rattly 1970s era sedan past old gas stations and diners. It all gels together pretty nicely, doesn't overstay its welcome and, once you accept it for the low-stakes chill game it is rather than an actual "monster hunter simulator", it's an interesting time.

Mild gripes include the controls. Jumping only seems to work when it's feeling in the mood (luckily, you only NEED to jump maybe once) and the dance of getting in and starting your car is excessively fiddly in a game where you spend a lot of time getting in and out of your car. The titans are suitably impressive but the rest of the Unity surroundings settle in at "serviceable". Sounds play a greater part between the creaking of your aged car, the hum of wind turbines and old spooky shows playing on your car's radio.
