About

Gotta Go is a single player casual simulation game with a comedy theme. It was developed by Dire Nerd Studios and was released on August 11, 2017. It received negative reviews from critics and mostly positive reviews from players.

With pressure mounting, the clock ticking, and only a vague idea where the bathroom is, players must avoid co-workers’ inane blathering and HR’s unwavering gaze as they make their way across the office to find their porcelain sanctuary.

    • “Interesting and kinda unique game, fun for a bit, then starts to get super frustrating with many poor mechanics and bugs.”
    • “Doesn't take long to feel totally conversant with the game mechanics and just accept the fact that apparently the most eventful moments in your life (or what about you would be made into a video game) are essentially when you gotta poop.”
  • humor
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is widely regarded as funny, particularly resonating with players who have office experience. Its humor is complemented by engaging gameplay features such as replayability, a challenging mode, and various modifiers, all at an affordable price.

    • “This is a funny game.”
    • “The humor hits home for me since I work in an office.”
    • “Pros: good replayability, few bugs, challenging mode on hard, modifiers (try shrooms for first person), $5 price, achievements, funny premise, some storyline.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users report significant optimization issues, with the game lagging even on high-performance systems capable of running demanding graphics titles.

    • “Despite having a powerful setup, the game struggles with performance issues due to lack of proper optimization.”
  • story
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is characterized by a humorous premise and a brief narrative that encourages replayability, particularly with various modifiers and challenges. While it lacks the depth of an epic tale or RPG, it offers a fun experience at an affordable price, all while supporting a charitable cause.

    • “I very much recommend 'Gotta Go', just as long as you're aware that it's a short game that you replay a lot. It's not an epic story or RPG, etc. Also, it's all for a good cause: no stomach for cancer!”
    • “Pros: good replayability, few bugs, challenging mode on hard, modifiers (try shrooms for first person), $5 price, achievements, funny premise, some storyline.”

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers strong replayability due to its three difficulty levels and various modifiers that enhance gameplay, such as unique challenges and humorous elements.

    • “The game offers great replayability with achievements and a funny premise that keeps you coming back for more.”
    • “It has a lot of replayability with 3 difficulty levels, and you can also add modifiers to keep gameplay extra spicy - literally!”

  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is often described as repetitive, leading to a lack of variety during gameplay. Reviewers recommend introducing different tracks for each level to enhance the experience. Overall, while the music is present, it does not significantly contribute to the game's appeal.
