The story of the game is generally viewed as engaging and humorous, with a distinctive art style reminiscent of classic titles like Leisure Suit Larry. However, players note that the narrative is relatively short and could benefit from more depth and character voice acting to enhance the experience. While the plot is entertaining, some feel that the gameplay and story lack substance given the development time.
“Haven't played many side-scrolling action visual novels, but this one has a very interesting storyline overall. Great game!”
“Funny plot and storyline.”
“The storyline and the atmosphere seemed very much like Leisure Suit Larry games, and since these games are kind of rare these days, I want to thank the developer for creating this little piece of homage.”
“Unless something directly leads to attaining a collectible, or unless something is absolutely necessary for the story, you can't interact with it.”
“I can understand not having it (since it can get pretty expensive to hire talented voice actors), but I think voices for the characters could have really enhanced the experience and story.”
“The story is okay, but it's disappointingly very short; you can finish it in one go (1-2 hours, maybe 3 if you get stuck on a puzzle).”
