  • gameplay
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is criticized for being excessively short, lasting less than half an hour without cutscenes, which many players feel does not justify the high price. Users recommend waiting for a sale if gameplay length is a significant factor for potential buyers.

    • “However, the game is incredibly overpriced - it's way too short (less than half an hour of gameplay excluding cutscenes) for this kind of price.”
    • “Also, the game is a bit short, so you might want to wait for a sale if you are in the church of gameplay length.”
  • atmosphere
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere is highly praised for its impressive artwork, particularly highlighted by the striking pre-rendered cutscenes that transform everyday appliances into flying spider robots, creating a unique and engaging visual experience.

    • “The artwork and atmosphere are great, with the few pre-rendered cutscenes of everyday appliances becoming flying spider robots being the standout.”
