The humor in the game is polarizing, with some players finding it amusing due to its absurd premise of a drunken husband and his interactions, while others criticize it for lacking engaging comedic elements and offering little more than repetitive gameplay. Many reviews highlight a disconnect between expectations of humor and the actual experience, with some finding it lifeless and unfunny, despite a few moments of potential comedy. Overall, the game's attempts at humor seem to fall flat for a significant portion of players.
“Funny game, mad wife, crazy & drunk man!”
“Well, this game is dead but it's really funny and weird; it talks about a dumb husband that you play as, who always 'needs a drink' and you have to make him drunk before his wife comes back from work.”
“Super fun and funny game.”

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players praising them as pristine and among the best they've seen, while others criticize them as dated and buggy, noting issues like disappearing textures. Overall, the visuals are described as decent for a simple game, but not without flaws that detract from the experience.
“When I first opened the game, I was greeted with a dating app, which made me think that I bought the wrong game. But then I tried the game, and all I can say is that this game has the best graphics, and no other game would be able to have graphics this good.”
“The graphics are pristine; the sound effects are something else. Don't eat or drink while playing, or you'll spit it out!”
“Pros: good graphics - fun to play, especially with friends - cheap price :)”
“The map is small and the graphics are dated. I do not know if the items have random spawning places; if they don't, this will become very boring quickly.”
“A game with a stupid concept, bugged graphics, and silly voice work (the wife shouting scoldings at you).”
“The graphics are rather dated and ugly, sound and music are hardly there (only the husband burping and moaning after eating food is a little bit funny), and the game itself is very lifeless.”

While some appreciate the mechanics and find it enjoyable as a casual experience, others feel it lacks depth and variety, with suggestions for more maps and content to enhance the overall experience. Overall, it seems to provide mindless fun but falls short of being engaging in the long term.
“Nice gameplay but need more maps!”
“I will give it in the current build 5/5 for mechanics as everything works.”
“Not a lot of diversity in gameplay but at 99¢ I have no problem with that and neither should you.”
“However, the gameplay is a solid 4/10; you run around and drink and eat stuff.”
“But the gameplay is pretty limited, about an hour to test every mode.”
“The gameplay becomes repetitive and stale far too quickly.”

The story presents a moral about perseverance and the unpredictability of life, contrasting with some reviews that criticize it as nonsensical or lacking coherence. However, it also continues the narrative of Gabriel Angelos and the Blood Ravens, focusing on their quest for a significant artifact. Overall, the reception of the story is mixed, with some appreciating its depth while others find it lacking.
“Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
“Continuing the story of Gabriel Angelos, head of the storied bunch of warriors known as the Blood Ravens, the need for drink centers on the search for an artifact from the Eldar blood god Khaine.”
“Just nonsense; it's not really a story, just drunk stammering and annoying married life.”
“Continuing the story of Gabriel Angelos, head of the storied bunch of booze known as the Blood Ravens, the need for drink centers on the search for an artifact from the Eldar blood god Khaine.”
“No story.”

“The music was still going on in the background but the game was frozen and I couldn't move my mouse at all!”
