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.”

The gameplay is generally praised for its solid mechanics and engaging mix of humor and tension, but it suffers from frequent interruptions due to static on the monitors, which detracts from the overall experience. Additionally, the gameplay remains largely unchanged between titles, with few new features introduced beyond a basic monster-stunning mechanic.
“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.”
