“A goofy and moderately challenging game. There's even an ARG in here which was unexpected but cool. The game plays well enough although the physics can be jank at times but not a big deal. If you like hard platformers…”
“Game is a little janky but it is filled with comedies, secrets and horrors beyond human comprehension. It is a good game to kill time and I had tons of fun lol. 10/10 would recommended”
