there are too many similarities between deltarune and this game. im honestly convinced toby fox got the idea for deltarune from playing this as a kid.

This may be the best game ever created in history I'm completely serious and it also helped my buddy Lia's fear of the dark

June 2024

Nostalgia! At least I'm assuming most people interested in this game are millennials that grew up on Humongous Entertainment games. While this game still has its charm, at the end of the day it is a game for kids and will probably take you only 60 to 90 minutes to complete. Having said that, objectives can spawn in a few different areas allowing for additional content, so there's some replayability here. However, these are completely random, so there's a lot of luck between playthroughs whether you'll get new content or not. Trying to find all the socks is actually a great challenge with some of them being very difficult to find. Definitely worth picking up on a sale for a couple hours of childhood memories. I believe kids nowadays would enjoy this game too, for any parents looking for something for their child.

Remembered having this game as a kid back when it was still on a disc. The amount of just pure personality this game has is still so amusing to me even today now that I'm in my late 20s. They really don't make em like they used to anymore, huh lol

March 2024

When you can remember literally every animation frame and sound effect from a game you played as a small child, you know they did something right. Also, the fact that a 1996 game still runs on modern hardware is a miracle.
