“Along the way, his journey becomes something more than just a rescue mission.”
“Without spoiling anything, the story goes a bit deeper than one might expect, so long as you look in the right places, and it's that extra little depth that helped make the story even more fun.”
“The story is charming, the main character Chris is relatable, and the villains are entertaining, making the power-ups fun and encouraging exploration.”
“The story is told entirely with in-game graphics and text boxes, which gets the job done, but admittedly feels lacking.”
“Perhaps this is unfair, but I would have liked the occasional animated cutscene or comic panel style animatic to punctuate key moments in the story - after having seen the trailers for this game, I was admittedly expecting one or two, but there were none that I could find, which was disappointing.”
“The story, such as it is, is pretty straightforward - the player takes control of a 13-year-old 7th grade boy named Chris who gets mysteriously warped to a vampire's castle along with six other kids, only for them all to be transformed into giant toys given to other villains as prisoners/trophies.”
