The game offers a humorous and clever story with strong writing and an engaging Lovecraftian-inspired narrative.
The unique blend of visual novel and RPG elements, including trivia and wordplay-based combat, provides an interesting and enjoyable gameplay experience.
Developer support is commendable, with regular patches fixing bugs and improving the game over time.

The game suffers from numerous technical issues and bugs that can hinder progress and frustrate players.
The heavy reliance on excessive reading and poorly implemented visual novel mechanics can feel tedious and make the experience less interactive.
The repetitive combat encounters and overuse of trivia questions, especially with a US-centric focus, reduce the immersion and enjoyment, and the lack of voice acting detracts from the presentation.

The story received mixed feedback, with some criticizing it for lacking originality and poorly integrating Cthulhu mythos elements, while others praised its engaging writing, absorbing world-building, and plentiful side quests that offer replayability. Despite some humor being less inspired and dialogue feeling random at times, many found the narrative enjoyable and entertaining, making the game appealing to fans of parody stories.
- “The writing is well done, the story development is amazing so far.”
- “Not to mention, the story is quite absorbing -- after playing for a while it became hard to stop -- despite the fact that the game certainly does not take itself too seriously, it's difficult not to get wrapped up in the world building and story arc.”
- “All in all, this is a funny, absorbing game -- despite what seem like budgetary issues with the voice cast not returning, I would very much recommend this game to anyone who likes an engaging parody story.”
- “On the matter of plot and substance, this has little to none.”
- “The favorite subject of all amateur developers, the corpse of H.P. Lovecraft has once more been exhumed so that a craptastic ripoff of his works could be created. Much like amateur developers typically lack the capability to come up with original game designs and quality assets, they are also usually unable to create original plot ideas, and this trashheap is no exception.”
- “The humor is way less inspired, and the use of 'Cthulhu Mythos' elements felt irrelevant, as the art and story status of the beings are much less connected to their original counterparts than in the first game. The dialogue (combat) options felt more random and resembled a game of Trivial Pursuit rather than being related to the story or characters (though this was somewhat an issue in the first game as well).”
humor

The game's humor is characterized by clever writing, witty dialogue, and a fast-paced, joke-dense style that some may find overwhelming but many find charming and funny. While certain elements, like the Cthulhu mythos references, feel less connected and the humor can sometimes seem random or trivial, overall the game is praised for its snarky wit, parody elements, and engaging comedic characters.
- “The good: excellent sense of humor, clever characters, great writing.”
- “I think one of the things that it really has going for it is its sense of humor; be it the snarky wit of the main protagonist, the wacky array of supporting characters, or just the self-aware exposition, this is an objectively funny game.”
- “The sort of parodic rapid-fire of jokes where if you don't get or find one funny, another one is right behind, much like parodies like Police Squad (and some people felt Police Squad fell flat for just that reason, too many jokes in too little time).”

The music in the game is generally improved and well-received, adding to the overall experience alongside better art and humor. However, some users suggest that character-specific musical themes or audio cues could enhance clarity during dialogue.
- “The music is better, the art is better and the jokes are better.”
- “Something such as a logo for each character next to their name, a change in font color for each character, or a musical theme (when applicable) associated with each character to indicate when they are speaking would have been helpful.”
gameplay
1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
The gameplay is minimal, consisting mainly of clicking through poorly written dialogue, which detracts from the overall experience and raises questions about the game's quality standards.
- “As a visual/interactive novel, this doesn't feature any notable gameplay; it's just a lot of clicking through badly written dialogue that would never have been accepted or published in print, which poses the question, 'How did something this badly written end up on Steam?'”
grinding
1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
Users find grinding in this game tedious and slow, likening it to reading a novel that dribbles out word by word, requiring constant clicking to progress rather than allowing smooth, natural pacing.
graphics
1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
Users find the graphics to be quite poor, likening them to crude, amateurish artwork, which negatively impacts the overall visual experience.
emotional
1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
Users feel that adding voice acting would enhance the emotional immersion, making the experience feel less like reading and more like actively playing a video game.
