  • story
    140 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story of "Agatha Knife" is widely praised for its unique and entertaining narrative, featuring a charming yet darkly humorous plot about a girl creating a religion for the animals she kills in her mother's butcher shop. Players appreciate the engaging characters and clever writing, although the linear progression and straightforward puzzles may limit replayability. Overall, the game is recommended for those who enjoy quirky storytelling and a whimsical atmosphere.

    • “The story is quite smart and full of hilarious references and ironic commentary on religion.”
    • “The story is pretty straightforward and there is not any branching in the game story, so you probably won't do more than one playthrough unless you are going for all the achievements.”
    • “I wish the game design wasn't so linear -- I would have preferred if the steps to creating your religion weren't given as missions but could instead be solved in any order -- because if you get stuck on a puzzle there is literally nothing else to do than walk around until you stumble upon the solution.”
    • “With many fetch-style quests to move the story along, this means that players can be stuck walking between the same areas over and over, even within the same chapters of the game.”
  • humor

    The humor in the game is predominantly dark and twisted, appealing to those with a taste for macabre comedy and sarcasm.

  • graphics
    60 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

While not graphically intensive, the hand-drawn visuals effectively convey character emotions and enhance the overall experience, despite some minor interface clunkiness. Overall, the aesthetic is praised for its creativity and ability to complement the game's dark humor and storytelling.

    • “The art style is simple but perfect.”
    • “Mango Protocol's got the witty dialogue tuned in and a surprisingly cute hand-drawn art style that really makes the game pop, even with characters that wouldn't look out of place doodled on somebody's notebook.”
    • “The art style fits the premise and themes of the game perfectly along with being incredibly charming.”
    • “Not the most polished or graphically advanced game for sure, with the mouse lag you get with the custom cursor being particularly embarrassing.”

    • “The graphics aren't super intensive, so don't worry, if you've got a potato and some wires you can run this just fine.”
  • music
    33 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally praised for being charming and well-suited to the overall aesthetic, with many describing it as lovely and enjoyable.

  • gameplay
    25 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by its simplicity and humor, featuring interesting characters and dark comedic moments, but it has been criticized for being repetitive and linear, resembling a "running errands simulator" rather than a classic adventure. Players noted clunky interface mechanics and tedious navigation, which detracted from the overall experience, although some appreciated the unique story and pop culture references. Overall, while the game offers entertaining elements, it struggles with pacing and exploration.

    • “Gameplay is very simple yet the game is full of humor and interesting characters with some occasional twisted moments and really dark humor.”
    • “10/10 game for me at least, I loved the story, the art style, and the gameplay is simple but fun.”
    • “[Classic point and click gameplay, puts forward a consistently amusing and entertaining parody of religious ideas, unique and fitting soundtrack, myriad of pop culture references bring the world alive, achievements to encourage different play styles.]”
    • “The gameplay is more boring too - instead of classic adventure mechanics like in the first game, this one is more like a running errands simulator.”
    • “It's a graphic adventure, after all, but the mechanics of the interface are slightly clunky and going back and forth between places can feel somewhat tedious.”
    • “The gameplay felt a bit repetitive, running from one end of the game to the other (which is a few blocks) over and over again, even with the teleportation by Sandro, you still have to run all the way to the far left of the game world to get to him.”
  • emotional
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The emotional aspect of the game is characterized by a unique blend of dark humor and cuteness, creating a strangely wholesome yet morbid experience. Players often find themselves reflecting on their own emotions, leading to a mix of connection and distress.

  • character development
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The dialogue and character development are so well written that it actually gets a pass for being dialogue heavy.”
    • “More mature meaning a deeper storyline, interesting puzzles, and more character development; that sort of thing.”
  • grinding
