    • “Furthermore, I personally found this funny but some people may not like it: on day 2 or 3 they gave me a "meat bike" which was really janky and fast, making me crash into trees and breakdance like a pimp in the mid 80s to 'You Spin Me Right Round' by Dead or Alive.”
    • “You can expect hilarious late 90s graphics and physics, a scavenger hunt with no handholding, and a game you only get better at by playing more.”
