The humor in the game is characterized by its quirky and often frustrating elements, such as a comically unhelpful window that appears unexpectedly, leading to a nostalgic yet exasperating experience reminiscent of past operating systems.
“I had to dig deep in Windows to even find that funny little window full of crap that didn't do anything but would often find ways of popping up when least wanted, freezing up my poor 486 and basically forcing me to deactivate it out of pure habit on every fresh install of every operating system I ever had after that point.”
