Pandora’s Shut-the-Box Game weaves together nerdy infodumps to tell a story of adolescent love and friendship in the face of humanity’s imminent apocalyptic destruction. In an apt metaphor for teenage existential crisis, Hildy and Evelyn find the silly in the tragic and the tragic in the silly as they’re suddenly forced to prioritize what’s been most meaningful to them in their short lives.
