The game's story is widely praised for its humor, engaging characters, and clever writing, often described as both chaotic and immersive. Players appreciate the depth of world-building and the interactive nature of the narrative, which features multiple branching paths and unexpected twists. However, some reviews note that the story ends on a cliffhanger, leaving players eager for a sequel to resolve lingering plot threads.
“The story itself was also just pure gold, where it could take itself just seriously enough at times but still pull off an absolute zinger the very next second.”
“Insanely fun and creative story, great characters and music.”
“An incredibly well voice-acted, well written, very comedic, and beautifully animated story game.”
“Sure we got a climax and an epilogue, but the story just ends without resolving anything or giving us any closure.”
“While it is a complete game well worth the price of entry, it is by no means a complete story.”
“The game clocked in a rough 6 hours of playtime, and I enjoyed every minute of it; however, it ends on a cliffhanger and expects a sequel to finish the story, going so far as to even have a poll for where the players want the game to progress that is brought up after you beat the game.”

The gameplay is generally well-received, praised for its engaging story, humor, and character interactions, though some players express a desire for more interactivity during cutscenes and additional gameplay mechanics. While the game is described as a polished and detailed choose-your-own-adventure experience, some feel that the limited instances for character attributes and the minimal gameplay for secondary characters detract from the overall experience. Despite these critiques, many recommend the game, especially to fans of the genre and previous titles in the series.
“Repella Fella has great funny dialogue, cool characters, and a good story with a lot of choices for opportunities in the gameplay.”
“This game is a masterpiece. I have to say those were some of the best hours I have ever spent playing a game. I really enjoyed every second of it, from the cutscenes to the gameplay, and despite not being a big fan of point-and-click games, this kept me engaged from the start. I really hope to see a sequel because this left me wanting more.”
“Such a great story and gameplay, with great voice acting and dialogues. It's totally worth it!”
“While I am a bit disappointed with elements of the gameplay (I wish there were more interactive elements during the cutscenes), it’s still perfectly enjoyable for what it is, and doesn’t detract from everything else the game does well.”
“I'd like to see the intelligence and strength options come up more often; if I recall correctly, there's only about 6 instances in the game where you get prompted, and seeing how it took 6 hours for me to beat, it felt like some of the core story didn't play into the mechanics.”
“I do think 'control three characters' makes it seem like you do more, but the other two characters have very little gameplay.”
