The game's story is a satirical take on the walking simulator genre, filled with complex narratives and predictable plot twists that often lack consistency and coherence. While some players appreciate the humor and interesting concepts, many criticize the execution, citing issues like bugs, rough edges, and a disjointed plot. Overall, the story is seen as a mixed bag, with potential for improvement if better developed.
- “It has a funny, interesting, satirical story and the graphics are pretty great on my machine!”
- “The beginning story is really the only thing going for this game so far for me.”
- “First the author is generous enough to start out by saying that if our tiny minds cannot fathom the depth of the story, fear not, it's already explained in a pinned forum post.”
- “This game is pure satire, making fun of the walking simulator genre with their unnecessarily complex stories and convoluted and yet predictable plot twists.”
- “But all the forced sarcasm (which is funny if not unnecessarily self-destructive), lack of story consistency, trying to be alternative at all costs, and all the bugs and unfinished features in the game make it trash, sadly.”
- “The game is still a bit too bloody and vulgar, and it still has many rough edges (not quite perfect English, voiceovers not matching the text and not deliberately so, plot not quite tied together even for a post-modernist concept, etc.) but I think the developer could create something good if he were paired with someone who could shape his more outlandish ideas into something consistent and coherent.”
