ReviewTerrible, boring gameplay, it's very hard to beat this without some kind of guide, since the game gives you almost no clues to what to do next. To move around in the map you have to choose to which direction in a menu, which gets tiring really fast. The enemies look like drawings of 5 year olds, it's almost comedy. It's very easy also, with an extremely simple combat system and weak enemies, so the fights can get annoying really fast.

The story is kinda interesting, entertaining enough for a short game with kindergarten-like artstyle, and some characters are so flat that the game is actually aware of that which makes it funnier.

The best thing here is the protagonist, he's an anti-cliche hero and his dick attittude is actually pretty good, his dialogues entertained me a lot.

I would enjoy this more if the gameplay part was drastically reduced or even dropped entirely. I think few people will actually have the patience to play this until the end without any guidelines or at least buying game hints in Info Store.
