The humor in the game is characterized as a rich and enjoyable parody, blending chicken-humanoid themes with sci-fi elements, featuring quirky characters like a twisted Colonel Sanders and mutant chickens. While many reviewers appreciate the comedic aspects and clever dialogue reminiscent of classic humor, some feel that the overall execution falls short of being genuinely funny. The game strikes a balance between humor and horror, making it a unique experience, though opinions on its comedic effectiveness vary.
- “The plot is funny yet interesting, the sound design is great, with the sound of raindrops hitting the roof of the spacecraft and the sound of alien chickens roaring in the back parts of your ship.”
- “I went in expecting a FNAF clone, but what I got was a rich, enjoyable parody full of chicken-humanoid humor set in a sci-fi world with mutant birds, robotic variations, and a twisted Colonel Sanders.”
- “Knowing that this is just a tiny part of a larger upcoming adventure game by two classic video game veterans makes it a valued part of my collection; their trademark humor is felt a lot in the dialogue and even the very premise is very in line with classic Crowe/Murphy humor.”
