“It really tries to put cute queer and kinky romances as a stopgap for any meaningful plot resolution.”

The gameplay of Irfn follows traditional interactive fiction mechanics, where players navigate through a branching narrative by making choices that influence the story's progression.
“Irfn has the familiar mechanics of text games: there's a situation, you're given a set of choices, and the story progresses and branches depending on your choices.”
“The gameplay feels repetitive and lacks depth, making it hard to stay engaged.”
“The mechanics are clunky and often lead to frustrating experiences during critical moments.”
“There are too many bugs that disrupt the flow of gameplay, making it feel unfinished.”

The humor in the game is well-integrated, with standout moments like Keavy's POV scene being particularly hilarious, while additional comedic elements are effectively woven throughout without undermining the overall tone of the story.
“Keavy's POV scene is hilarious, plus there is sprinkled humor here and there that doesn't detract from the tone of the story.”
