The humor in the game is characterized as intentionally absurd and amusing, with players finding enjoyment in its "so bad it's funny" quality, particularly through its jump scares and quirky elements. Reviewers suggest that it provides a lighthearted experience, especially for those looking for a comedic take on the FNAF clone genre.
“You forgot to wear pants! I bought this game because of the FNAF clone idea and the fact that it has such poor reviews, which sounded funny.”
“It did not disappoint (on sale) as my little brother is content with the FNAF clone idea, and I'm just sitting here giggling at the 'jump scares.' If it's on sale and you're bored out of your mind and feel like fooling around with a kind of 'so bad it's funny' game, this is the game to get! Lol”
