The humor in the game is characterized by its quirky and absurd elements, such as the character Rosario's unique ability to heal by throwing out a self-cooking pigeon, which is both impractical and amusing. Players appreciate the blend of stealth gameplay with this offbeat comedic touch, making it a standout feature for those who enjoy unconventional humor.
- “And finally we have Rosario... he is the default character. The only thing that makes him special is his strange ability that allows you to heal some health and mana by throwing out a pigeon that cooks itself. The funny thing about this is it takes 10 mana to throw it out, and it only heals 10 health and 4 mana. So I guess that is that. To make it even worse, when you throw out pigeons, you normally throw them far, so you actually have to go and retrieve the cooked corpse of the bird to even use his ability at all.”
- “5/5, 10/10, would recommend this to anyone who likes stealth games and quirky humor.”
