Sept. 2024

good game but i cheated throughout the entire teal cart area because that shit was so boring

Sept. 2024

Long overdue on this review but its still pretty good. A bit different from act 1 but in a cool way tbh. The launch version of this game was a bit rough but that's a nonissue at this point.

June 2024

Great sequel! The art, music and writing is just as great as in the first game, and we get some real character development for Joey and Xefros. There are some "guide dangit" moments, where the puzzles feel a bit contrived, like when getting tickets on the train station has much more of an effect on a later part of the game than you'd have thought. The game is really generous with hints though, and I'd imagine most people are there for the story anyway. The second act becomes slightly more confusing for a non-Homestuck fan, but that also helps put you in Joey's shoes. I'm jealous of you if you got to experience this game with no prior knowledge of the setting.

March 2024

Great game, I absolutely loved playing through and poorly dubbing it with a friend. Enjoyable characters, fantastic story and an amazing soundtrack. Tyzias my beloved, thanks for getting me through the absolute slogfest that was the trial section. (Pretty much the only big issue that I have with this game.) Can't wait to play ACT 3 when I'm 90!

Feb. 2024

This is great, I love it, It's exactly what i was hoping for but I don't feel good having finished it Like this doesn't feel like it's really leading up to another game, it just feels like a book, ending in the middle
