The humor in the game is widely praised for being both funny and unique, often enhancing the overall experience alongside its challenging puzzle elements.

Overall, players recommend the game for its clever humor and engaging gameplay.

“The story is nice; the characters are somewhat likable, depending on which character you choose. Some are just downright funny and goofy, but the game is still, at its heart, a hard puzzle game. At least it took little old me longer than I thought it would, so if you like puzzles, 10/10 would recommend.”
“One of the few really great HRPG games I've played, in my opinion, and it's mostly because the puzzle gameplay is really well done (even if it's pretty hard even on normal difficulty) and the fact that the humor in the story is also really funny.”
