The humor in the game is characterized by a blend of absurdity and parody, featuring quirky elements like mutant chickens and a twisted Colonel Sanders, which contribute to a lighthearted atmosphere. While some players find the comedic aspects enjoyable and reminiscent of classic humor, others feel that the humor doesn't consistently land, resulting in mixed reactions. Overall, the game offers a unique comedic twist on the horror genre, appealing to those who appreciate its quirky charm.
“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.”

The gameplay is generally solid and features a mix of engaging moments, but it suffers from frequent interruptions due to static on the monitors. While the core mechanics remain consistent across titles, there is a lack of innovation beyond a minor stun mechanic for monsters. Overall, the experience is visually impressive but hindered by these gameplay issues.
“This game has terrific visuals, excellent gameplay, and a great mixture of goofy and nerve-wracking moments.”
“Gameplay is solid for the most part, but one thing is seriously hindering the experience: almost every ten seconds or so, your monitors will be bombarded by static.”
“Apart from a minor mechanic where you can stun the monsters with high-powered lights, there’s nothing new to see here.”
“So, gameplay is pretty much identical between both titles.”
