  • humor
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is largely derived from unintentional moments, such as the amusing antics of a monkey and the absurdity of a child companion handling dangerous tasks.

    • “The replay value for the game is low.”
    • “While the game has a promising start, it fizzles out towards the middle with a rather bland ending and has no replay value.”
    • “There are better hidden object games to play. I suggest picking this one up only if it’s on sale because it’s average at best. It has Steam trading cards and achievements, but there is no replay value and no bonus content in the game.”
