What players liked

Players praise its absurdly funny dialogues, reminiscent of early internet humor, despite its low-budget nature.

The catch

Random instant deaths force restarting and rereading pages of slow unskippable text.

Why it is here

It is here because it sits in the band this site looks at: well reviewed at 80% positive, but with 1,383 reviews, far fewer than the household names carry.
