  • story
    30 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story, set during World War II, intertwines historical elements with supernatural and occult themes, creating an intriguing yet sometimes shallow narrative.

Overall, the combination of humor, interesting plot points, and creative mechanics makes it a worthwhile experience, despite some pacing issues.

    • “Set against the backdrop of World War II, the game combines historical elements from the era with supernatural twists, creating a storyline that keeps you intrigued throughout and wanting to push on more to see how it resolves itself.”
    • “Hilarious point-and-click adventure with an absurd, wacky story, interesting puzzle mechanics, and kooky characters set in a beautifully pixelated WWII setting.”
    • “Eccentric characters, bizarre occurrences, a plot that is absolutely bonkers, fun puzzle-solving process, and silly humor that brings it all together are all elements of a well-crafted game that is pure entertainment.”
    • “Overall, the story is pretty shallow and has some interesting bits here and there that are sadly never really expanded upon.”
    • “But besides running around from location to location and occasional interaction or story points hints, there is not much to do here.”
    • “Cons: so much walking, the standard things with point and clicks where some small thing is needed to trigger events to move the plot forward.”
  • music
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews; while some players find it pleasant and fitting the theme, others describe it as forgettable and lacking iconic tracks.

Overall, the sound design, including music and effects, is generally praised for its quality and contribution to the game's charm.

    • “The music is unifying but not overshadowing, which is a great combination in an adventure full of so many crazy components.”
    • “There is a quality soundtrack that changes depending not only on the mood of the scene, but also location – darker tones in the menacing forest, wartime tunes in the dirty bar full of drunk German officers, and sweet electronic beats at the festival are just some examples of what’s to come.”
    • “Super fun and charming, with witty writing and excellent music and art.”
    • “Too many 4th wall jokes, you have to go over the same dialogues with NPCs over and over, boring soundtrack, incompetent quality of life.”
    • “No iconic music whatsoever (except a brief snippet of Ruggero Leoncavallo's 'Pagliacci', but that doesn't count), but no bad tracks either.”
    • “You'll forget about the music as soon as you stop playing.”

  • gameplay
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is a mix of point-and-click puzzles and combat, featuring interesting mechanics like ghost communication and mind control, but it often lacks creativity and can be bewildering. While the game offers enjoyable characters and a charming pixel art style, players may find themselves frustrated by occasional unclear objectives and the need for excessive backtracking. Overall, it provides a fun experience with a blend of classic adventure elements and unique twists, though it doesn't fully capitalize on its innovative mechanics.

    • “7 hours of gameplay time, no frustrating riddles.”
    • “Very nice point and click adventure with lovable characters, great pixel art & creative story/mechanics. I also liked the humor of this game, but I played the German translation.”
    • “Hilarious point and click with an absurd, wacky story, interesting puzzle mechanics, and kooky characters set in a beautifully pixelated WWII setting.”
    • “Additionally, while generally this game avoids the pitfalls of galaxy-brain solutions, it cannot avoid the critical point-and-click gameplay pitfall of leaving the player sometimes not knowing where in the heck to go next, even with the robust journal function that keeps track of all your current objectives. This necessitates a lot of player time frittered away backtracking from map location to location, some of which are relatively far apart, just to find the one or two things that have changed.”
    • “Gameplay is what you expect from an adventure game.”
    • “I don't think the shooting mechanics are that bad, and all the other aspects of the game more than make up for it.”
  • atmosphere
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's atmosphere is significantly enhanced by its remote Norwegian village setting, which adds a sense of mystery and immersion. The detailed pixel art and thoughtful color choices effectively contribute to the overall ambiance, reminiscent of classic adventure games. Additionally, the absence of voice-overs allows players to imagine character voices, further personalizing the atmospheric experience.

    • “The game's setting, a remote Norwegian village, further adds to the atmosphere and sense of mystery.”
    • “Oh, and I'd like to point out that I really found it good for the atmosphere that there were no voice-overs, as I could imagine those voices for every weird character myself. It really contributed to my personal atmosphere feeling of this game.”
    • “It complements the atmosphere of the setting well, but I feel like there is nothing that really sticks with the player after one quits playing.”
    • “Very detailed pixel art with a great choice of colors that help build the atmosphere of every scene.”
