  • humor
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is polarizing, with some players appreciating its self-referential jokes and absurdity, while others find it unfunny and poorly executed.

    • “It has an offbeat sense of humor and fourth wall breaks.”
    • “As for the character of the shark, it was clearly a beautiful and touching tribute to Steven Spielberg's blockbuster 'Jaws.'

    • “I honestly can't explain to you how unfunny this game was.”
    • “The jokes fell flat and felt forced, making the experience more cringeworthy than entertaining.”

    • “Finally, the graphics themselves are so real that I attempted to climb into my monitor to be closer to the simply breathtaking game world.”
    • “The repeated dialogue, the low quality looping soundtrack, the art style, the lack of uneducated kid lore, (did he die? is he alive?) I genuinely could not wait to be able to write this review on my experience.”
    • “This game's graphics are better than my real eyes.”
    • “Upon closer inspection of the visuals, I noticed they even featured several colors, including black, white, pink, brown, and a brand-new exclusive color designed specifically for this game!”

    • “This game is amazing; the OST made me rethink Emmanuel Kant's perspective on the modern world or something like that, at every single stage of gameplay!”
    • “As a visual/interactive novel, this doesn't feature any notable gameplay; it's just a lot of clicking through badly written dialogue that would never have been accepted or published in print, which poses the question, 'how did something this badly written end up on Steam?'”

Imagine the best novel you ever read, whether it's 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy', '2001: A Space Odyssey', or 'Twilight' (if you have terrible taste in literature), but then translate that to a format where the words dribble out and you have to click your mouse every time you want to read the next sentence, instead of just turning the pages.”
