Despite some initial adjustments to the character animations and mechanics, players found the narrative engaging and wholesome, maintaining their curiosity about the outcome. Overall, while not without its flaws, the story remains enjoyable and well-crafted.

“You cannot picture how happy I was to see this pop up and then playing it, seeing it's still as enjoyable as ever, wholesome in story and characters.”

The gameplay features well-crafted mechanics and an engaging story, though some players find the new puppet-like character animations and sound effects detract from the overall satisfaction. Despite initial adjustments to the extra animations, many users still appreciate the gameplay experience, particularly the unique objective of hunting Carl in each level.
“It took a few levels to get used to the extra animations of the characters and the guests, but the story and the mechanics were very well made, and it was cool that you had to hunt Carl in every level.”
“But I still liked the gameplay.”
