  • The game provides a humorous, satirical take on the COVID-19 pandemic, delivering laughs and light-hearted commentary on conspiracy theories and human reactions.
  • It features simple, enjoyable mini-games that add some interactive variety, and includes some actual safety information responsibly presented.
  • Being free and short in length, it serves as a good time-killer or casual experience for players looking for a quick, entertaining game.
  • The gameplay is generally basic and occasionally clunky, with some frustrating control issues and poorly designed platforming sections.
  • The visual and audio presentation is mostly unimpressive, with outdated RPG Maker graphics and overlapping music tracks that negatively impact the atmosphere.

  • humor

    The game's humor is widely praised for being funny, clever, and often hilarious, with a unique take on the COVID-19 pandemic and its social issues. While some jokes are described as silly or lowbrow, most players find the humor entertaining, witty, and a refreshing way to lighten a serious topic. Overall, it delivers a quick, enjoyable, and memorable comedic experience, especially for those who appreciate dark or socially aware humor.

    • “A quick little RPG Maker romp through a humorous take on the havoc COVID-19 and its deniers have wreaked.”
    • “This game is short and sweet, but good god is it hilarious and worth every second of gameplay!”
    • “It takes only a few seconds to realize that this is a product of a wonderfully twisted mind that feeds on pop culture references, dark humor, and South Park.”

  • gameplay

    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    14% positive mentions, 65% neutral mentions, 21% negative mentions

    The gameplay is brief and mostly consists of dialogue, cutscenes, and simple minigames, with a visual novel-like structure. While some players find the story and humor entertaining, the gameplay is often described as basic, broken, and lacking challenge. Overall, it's a short, lighthearted experience best appreciated for its comedic moments rather than gameplay depth.

    • “As for the gameplay, there are a bunch of mini-games that you encounter as you progress.”
    • “This game is short and sweet, but good god is it hilarious and worth every second of gameplay!”
    • “Like most RPG Maker shovelware and asset flips, the game features extremely low quality copy-pasted 2D retro pixel art, looks awful, and has even worse gameplay.”
    • “The gameplay is basically dialogue and cutscenes interspersed with a few small minigames.”
    • “Welp, the chuckles were there in the dialogue, but the gameplay (when you could play) was lackluster, kinda broken (hitboxes in the first stage), and quite easy.”

  • story

    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    43% positive mentions, 28% neutral mentions, 29% negative mentions

    The story is generally short but engaging, often humorous, and offers a lighthearted take on its theme, making it enjoyable for a brief playthrough. While some find it lacks depth or coherence, others appreciate the meaningful integration of minigames and its entertaining narrative approach. Overall, it’s best experienced as a quick, fun story rather than a full gameplay experience.

    • “Short, catchy, and actual story (gameplay ~half an hour) with a few lovely ideas.”
    • “While it is quite short, it had a couple of good laughs throughout the storyline.”
    • “The minigames are fun to play and always have a meaningful purpose in the storyline.”
    • “It tries to have a story, but that's lame too.”
    • “If you want to play it for the story alone then go for it but I wouldn't recommend playing if you want to actually play.”
    • “No storyline, just some random stuff.”

  • music

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    25% positive mentions, 25% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The game's music, primarily royalty-free, is generally decent and fits the gameplay well, with some notably enjoyable moments. However, it occasionally suffers from overlapping tracks that create an unpleasant listening experience.

    • “The music is appropriate and fun, especially one passage in a hospital is musically and textually great.”
    • “The game primarily uses royalty-free music, and while for the most part it is decent, it has an issue that sometimes happens where a track starts playing before the last track finishes, resulting in something that is very unpleasant to listen to.”
    • “A 30 minute ride through kinetic minigames, brought to you by RPG Maker and royalty free music.”

  • graphics

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 33% neutral mentions, 67% negative mentions

    The graphics are typical of RPG Maker games, featuring standard visuals without Full HD support or customization options, and the engine performs poorly in fullscreen mode, which may disappoint modern PC gamers.

    • “As with all RPG Maker games, the poor quality engine displays badly in fullscreen, lacks full HD support, and has no graphics tweaking options, making this unacceptable for dedicated modern PC gamers.”
    • “For the most part, it's just standard RPG Maker graphics.”
