The humor in the game is polarizing, with some players finding it charming and hilarious, while others criticize it as juvenile and over-the-top. Many appreciate the quirky, crass jokes and references, likening it to inspirations like Undertale and Earthbound, though some feel the humor can become obnoxious or hit-or-miss. Overall, it appeals more to younger audiences or those who enjoy absurd and random comedic styles, but may not resonate with everyone.
