“+ deep and dark story”
“Dear lord, there is more story in a game of Pong than there is in this entire game.”
“Writing was horrible; nothing made any sense, plot points just flying all over the place. Just a bad game.”
“I'm really honestly confused from the English being really bad (which it tells you early on), but also the story in general just goes completely nowhere and just keeps introducing new characters and finally ends.”

The humor in the game is polarizing, with some players finding it overly pretentious and forced, while others appreciate its subtlety and depth, particularly regarding niche references like "traps." Many critiques highlight issues such as broken English and poorly executed minigames, which detract from the comedic experience. Overall, the humor seems to resonate primarily with a specific audience, leaving others feeling alienated or confused.
“The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of traps, most of the jokes will go over a typical player's head.”
“The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, realizing that they're not just funny—they say something deep about traps.”
“I think it's funny that all the characters are gay men even though their animations are hot chicks, but that's about the only thing I liked about this game.”
“Pretentious, unfunny garbage.”

“The translation is awful on purpose, I would assume. The music doesn't fit in the slightest, and the story?”
“Better go watch a gachimuchi music video on Nicovideo or YouTube and avoid this.”
