  • Unique and surreal art style with fitting soundtrack and audio mixing.

    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    25% positive mentions, 50% neutral mentions, 25% negative mentions

    The gameplay offers a mechanically interesting but frustrating experience, featuring a mix of unique and intentionally annoying mechanics like a problematic reload system and inconsistent hitboxes. While visually reminiscent of Cruelty Squad, it lacks the tight, fun gameplay loop that made that game successful, leading to a more open-ended but less satisfying experience. Overall, it may appeal mainly to players already familiar with and tolerant of this niche style.

    • “I came into this game thinking it would be similar to Cruelty Squad but it's clear I came in with the wrong mindset; this game is Cruelty Squad in aesthetic only and has a frustrating reload mechanic.”
    • “The gameplay is good, the reloading system is crazy, textures remind me of Cruelty Squad; I did have some trouble with the enemies and the hitboxes on the weapons and stuff.”
    • “Funny Cruelty Squad type game, though the gameplay is more open-ended than that game.”
    • “And let me tell you it gets stale after less than an hour of gameplay.”
    • “I came into this game thinking it would be similar to Cruelty Squad but it's clear I came in with the wrong mindset; this game is only Cruelty Squad in aesthetic, with a frustrating reload mechanic.”
    • “Cruelty Squad made by someone who doesn't understand level design or why Cruelty Squad's gameplay worked so well to begin with.”

  • graphics

    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 34% neutral mentions, 33% negative mentions

    The graphics feature a surreal, psychedelic art style that some find intriguing and unique, while others view the visuals as random, poorly optimized, and pretentiously esoteric. Overall, the game’s colorful and unconventional aesthetic is divisive, eliciting both fascination and criticism.

    • “I like the surreal art style and the way characters and enemies are modeled.”
    • “Very weird, interesting, and fun game with an interesting art style.”
    • “The graphics of the game are an insult to the senses but very colorful and good.”
    • “The graphics of the game are an insult to the senses despite being very colorful.”
    • “This game tries to be an esoteric immersive sim-ish FPS with puzzle elements, but fails and distracts you from its shortcomings with psychedelic visuals.”
    • “I came into this game thinking it would be similar to Cruelty Squad, but it is only similar in aesthetic, and has a frustrating reload mechanic.”

  • music

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The music is generally praised for being fitting, enjoyable, and well-mixed, enhancing the game's unique and quirky atmosphere. However, some users feel mixed overall due to the game's frustrating elements despite liking the soundtrack.

    • “The soundtrack is very fitting for the world.”
    • “I liked the intro, soundtrack, the audio mixing, and the level design.”
    • “The music and sound effects are very fitting and enjoyable.”
    • “I'm really mixed on the music; I'd rate it 5 to 6 out of 10. I love the music and the nonsense nature of the game, but it gets too frustrating to play.”
    • “Definitely not because of the OST. Shout out to @plaza255 for that.”
    • “Max prestige light skin iShowSpeed gameplay mixed with Mickey Mouse Clubhouse horror elements, together with strange repetitive music.”

  • story

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    25% positive mentions, 25% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The story is generally vague and simplistic, centering around themes of mental illness and an asylum, without much elaboration or depth. While it is easy to understand, it is not the main focus, as the gameplay and design receive more attention and praise.

    • “For one, it's kind of crazy how most of the story is vague and basically ends with, 'you are mentally ill and in an asylum.' That would be no issue if, for some reason, the level design didn't suck for what the game is trying to achieve.”
    • “No story.”

  • humor

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The humor in the game is characterized by blatant goofiness and meme-inspired randomness, which some find amusing but others see as pretentious rather than genuinely creative. It adopts a quirky, open-ended style similar to Cruelty Squad but leans more towards playful trolling and fun rather than serious social critique.

    • “I've played enough of it to say it sure has potential; its humor is blatantly goofy and meme-like, which makes it stand out.”
    • “Funny cruelty squad type game, though the gameplay is more open-ended than that game.”
    • “Where Cruelty Squad uses its crazy style to convey a tone of vindictive and spiteful critique of society, AFL uses it more as an excuse for humor and some fun/troll design.”

  • grinding

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 33% neutral mentions, 67% negative mentions

    Grinding in the game is seen as intentionally tedious and frustrating, with some sections feeling nearly impossible until specific mechanics are understood. The addition of janky platforming further exacerbates the monotonous experience, making grinding a significant challenge.

    • “Intentionally annoying and tedious in how it plays, at first seeming impossible until you realize your block negates all damage.”
    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”

  • optimization

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The game generally runs smoothly, but users note that optimization could be improved to enhance overall performance.

    • “In the bar, the game runs smoothly.”
    • “Only complaint is the optimization”

  • atmosphere

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 100% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game's atmosphere aims for a sense of profundity and mystery but ultimately feels artificial, which may be an intentional design choice.

  • emotional

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game's emotional impact is deeply intense and raw, evoking dark, personal experiences with a hauntingly realistic conclusion. It also conveys a sense of psychedelic confusion, creating a uniquely immersive and emotionally charged atmosphere.

    • “Feels like someone took the life of me and some of my emotionally darkest friends, turned it into a video game, and gave it the most real ending, all while still being in a state of absolute psychedelic-induced psychosis.”
