    • “A strange game, the gameplay is simple but quite attractive; the message the game gives is okay.”
    • “Gameplay is dogshit and while the graphics and humor are cool for how little content this game has, $7.99 is way too much. If it was $1 or $2, this review would be much less critical, but with the horrible gameplay and awful price tag, I just can't give this game a recommendation.”

    The graphics of the game effectively capture the nostalgic PS1 aesthetic, resonating well with fans of retro indie titles.

    • “Captures that PS1 aesthetic pretty perfectly.”

    • “Ps1 graphics are absolutely making that comeback in the retro indie fashion.”
    • “Gameplay is terrible, and while the graphics and humor are cool for how little content this game has, $7.99 is way too much. If it were $1 or $2, this review would be much less critical, but with the horrible gameplay and awful price tag, I just can't recommend this game.”

    • “The atmosphere is oppressive, but I mean, you're up someone's ass, so you kind of want to do your job and get the heck out of there.”
    • “The biggest problem I have with it is that it just kind of wastes a lot of time. It took me almost 2 hours to finish, and most of it was just doing the same thing. Fine, you build the atmosphere with the isolation in the colon; it's all good, but I don't think it was necessary to keep me there for so long between the narrative progression.”
