The humor in the game is characterized as amusing rather than laugh-out-loud funny, often eliciting sharp exhales rather than hearty laughs. It features a mix of adult swim-style references and Gen X humor, with a lighthearted tone that embraces randomness and pop culture callbacks. While the choices may not significantly impact the experience, the writing is well-crafted and contributes to an overall cute and entertaining atmosphere.
“Honestly, the whole thing has a very Adult Swim vibe, with Robot Chicken levels of Gen X humor.”
“This is a funny little title; most of the choices are built around getting you a chuckle.”
“Funny, short, doesn't take itself too seriously, with a lot of callbacks to TV shows and popular culture here and there, going off on some truly random tangents at times.”

The story is described as amusing but criticized for its reliance on "woke" themes and lack of originality, drawing comparisons to the Venture Bros series. Players find the narrative light and fun, allowing for humorous choices, but feel that their decisions have minimal impact on the overall progression, leading to a sense of limited control over the story's direction.
“Very fun game where the universe serves the story (the world is a light one so you can have fun without having to think too much about the details).”
“An amusing enough story but too much woke content.”
“I went out of my way to go counter to the story as much as I could, just picking the most amusing options more often than not to see what I could get away with. The stats didn't seem to impact much; for example, my doomsday weapon, the work-in-progress ray, never got past 36% completion but still managed to work just fine despite me never committing to what it was supposed to do.”
“You also have almost no real control over how the story goes.”
