  • story
    162 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is characterized by its absurdity and humor, offering a choose-your-own-adventure format with numerous wacky endings that encourage players to explore unconventional paths. While many find the narrative engaging and funny, some note that the repetitive nature of unlocking endings can diminish the initial charm. Overall, it presents a quirky and entertaining experience, particularly for those who enjoy interactive storytelling with a comedic twist.

    • “Unironically peak visual novel, one of the best art pieces that shows how the genre can be used to express stories of all types. 10/10, would want to be an insane talk show host again.”
    • “In addition, the recurrent characters have their hidden facets only revealed in a certain ending; traversing all endings gives you a more complete picture of the whole (silly and nonsensical) story.”
    • “What seems like a fairly straightforward story quickly shifts to something bizarre and unexpected but also hilarious.”
    • “That being said, by the time you've reached around half of the 117 available endings, the steps you are taking to reach new story elements begin to feel extremely repetitive, and even the random humor that was initially appealing becomes forgettable as the charm wears off.”
    • “If you have an amazing imagination, this game is probably perfect for you, but for people like myself, it's just someone reading a story to you that you have to replay several times if you want all the endings.”
    • “The humor is a hit and miss, since it's the kind of 'random' humor that is very context dependent and its overuse can burden the story with meaningless narrative beats.”
  • music
    54 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally well-received, with many players appreciating the soothing guitar tracks and catchy soundtrack that enhance the overall experience.

    • “Actual review: pretty good game, nice clean art style; music is very soothing and fantastic.”
    • “The game's casual yet catchy soundtrack doesn't make me want to smash my screen.”

  • gameplay
    48 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by a simple, choose-your-own-adventure mechanic that encourages replayability through various dialogue and action options, leading to multiple endings based on player choices. While some players appreciate the absurd humor and engaging scenarios, others find the gameplay limited and repetitive, with a lack of traditional mechanics. Overall, the game is best enjoyed for its comedic writing and unique experiences rather than for deep gameplay complexity.

    • “This game's sense of humor is great, and the gameplay has a lot of depth to it in regards to the different endings and what it takes to get them.”
    • “The 'choose your own adventure' aspect is a very fun mechanic and is executed wonderfully in this game.”
    • “The game is surprisingly engaging despite the general lack of visual engagement and limited gameplay.”
    • “It's frustrating to waste so many hours reopening the drawer, pantry, etc., but I understand that changing this might make gameplay (as it's currently structured) too easy/streamlined.”
    • “Just terrible story, writing, animations, gameplay, sound, and possibly other things I am not thinking of right now.”
  • graphics
    38 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Despite these shortcomings, some players still find the graphics acceptable within the context of the game.

    • “The game offers some nice graphics and environments; although there are some ugly glitches here and there, it is pleasant all the same and has a really great aesthetic.”
    • “Actual review: pretty good game, nice clean art style; music is very soothing and fantastic.”
    • “Even the quality of the graphics is great too.”
    • “No graphics, lazy story, and covering under the guise of free to play.”
    • “The graphics are almost non-existent; except for some icons which serve an entirely functional purpose, you have text and boxes of various colors.”

  • replayability
    32 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers significant replayability, primarily due to its numerous endings and quick playthroughs, making it ideal for short gaming sessions.

Overall, it is considered a fun, quirky experience that encourages multiple playthroughs, especially in a group setting.

    • “The replay value and humor, which can be as unpredictably absurd and bizarre as you want it to be, make for a unique and, quite frankly, one of the most entertaining games on the platform.”
    • “I've found 10/21 endings after a half hour of playing, so each game is only lasting a few minutes max, making it great to kill a little time in between, and the replay value is great.”
    • “One playthrough won't take more than a few minutes, but the amount of options you're given allows for a ton of replayability, and altogether you could definitely sink a few hours into this.”
    • “Not very replayable, but playing it for the first time is genuinely funny, albeit gross.”
    • “Game relies on curiosity in the replay value, to see what little difference can be made.”
    • “Not a lot of replay value, but I streamed it in my Discord server and played with a couple of friends, and it was super fun.”

    • “Once you have explored one branch, it becomes supremely uninteresting to replay it a second time, either voluntarily or by accident, and you will find yourself restarting to avoid the tediousness.”
