The humor in the game is described as both unexpected and entertaining, featuring elements like 4th wall breaks and absurd interactions with humans, such as controlling them to create chaotic scenarios. While some players find the humor to be hit-or-miss, many appreciate the janky, broken aspects that contribute to its comedic charm, particularly in a Halloween-themed setting. Overall, the game successfully delivers a fun and funny experience centered around the antics of a cat.
“Be a cat, cause mayhem, complete tasks... there is even an occasional spot of humor, such as a 4th wall break that I'd not expected from a game like this.”
“I flipping love getting the humans angry and then leaping onto their backs to control them so I can make them run around with their arms flapping overhead hilariously.”
“A very funny game in which we have to play, as everyone already guessed as a cat, made quite atmospheric; here we have skeletons, pumpkins, and candy, and even a black cat, all according to the canons of Halloween.”
