    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • story
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “I'm sure it'll run out of runway at one point, and I can't imagine this can scale to something silly, or that it will be replayable, but what it aims to give, it gives in spades.”
    • “I think that would be a great way to give the game replayability.”
    • “The main thing holding it back, in my opinion, is content, replayability, and annoying bugs.”
    • “I'm sure it'll run out of runway at one point, and I can't imagine this can scale to something silly or that it will be replayable, but what it aims to give, it gives in spades.”
    • “Way too short; I completed 100% in 25 hours with no replayability.”

Players appreciate the subtle, unspoken humor and find the dialogue in emails to be particularly entertaining, suggesting that more easter eggs would enhance the experience further. Overall, the humor contributes positively to the game's enjoyment.
