A colorful, comedic masterpiece that feels like playing through a premium 90s cartoon—the character designs and witty dialogue are top-notch.

Fun game. Better than Beholder. I thought this was a small game but it turned out to be surprisingly story rich. You play a guard at a city gate, deciding whether to let people in based on their dialogues, behaviors or results from tools you used on them. You only have 3 action points before making a decision so making each count. The fun lies in how deep you can dig into each person's real intentions. You might judge someone right yet miss a deeper purpose, which requires a certain dialogue or a phone call or confiscate their items or use of a tool like a language translator for goblins etc. You have to pay close attention to the daily upgrades. The game is also full of surprises like, once I was told not to use X‑ray on non-human creatures and I later forgot, and incinerated a goblin by accident. It turned out she happened to be a famous football player and by wiping her out, I unlocked a rare achievement because it guaranteed the other team’s victory and an easy and big betting payouts if you participated. Little hidden chains like this are everywhere if you experiment with tools, break the rules now and then and pay attention. My favorite gag was letting a vampire count grains of rice. Beyond the variety at the gate, many people you allow into the city show up later in town. Like a shopkeepers selling essential items, a blacksmith to fix the jukebox, others can trigger extra stories. Key characters are tied to the main plot, your choices to letting them in, refusing or sending to prison can directly affect who the princess is marrying and how the story unfolds. There are also fun references and faces like ghostbusters, and a goblin servant who gets fired by being given a sock. Everyone you process will get a brief after that round, entertaining to read. If you don’t like the result you can easily replay and try a different choice. There are multiple endings depending on your decisions, the game is fairly long, easily doubles if you aim to get a perfect gold medal for every character. It's an enjoyable game.

This game is so damn funny, I can't recommend it enough. A good time all around, even if I feel some of the choices where it says that it will "have an impact" do not actually impact anything. However, that there are choices to begin with is awesome and fans of "Papers Please" and (surprisingly enough) "Monkey Island" will definitely enjoy this one!

Good game. The animation is cute, voice acting is spot on, and the humor actually made me chuckle a few times. Love that there is chapter select, nothing worse than playing a game that wants you to go back for alternate endings and expects you to do a full play through each time. It's a bit long for what it is, but definitely worth playing.

Decided to try out this game for myself, after watching Jay from Kubz Scouts play it. It's such a funny and quirky game, with a Disney-like yet unique style. I had a relaxing time, with some good laughs.
