This game has helped me learn something. Besides being a charming, entertaining, and funny game, it also rewards you for looking just that little bit closer. Just walking up to a random trash can, then it suddenly gives you 3 xp and a can of tuna or keep on bugging the narrator and the characters makes it all the more fun to play...and after playing this, I found myself slowing down. Enjoying things more. Both in video games, and outside of it. I know this probably doesn't apply to everyone, but I thought I'd just share why I like the game (and West of Loathing) so much. (I've still a lot more to find out in this game) TL:DR Fun(ny), charming, entertaining game. Made me enjoy small things more and slow down

Pros: +Relentlessly joke-filled. Even if not every joke is laugh-out-loud-funny, some are, and there's still something to be said for a consistently funny tone. +Charming art style and presentation, which is often used and subverted to great effect +Easy on the computer. It starts up and loads games instantly, instant loading times, and runs smoothly. I can't stress enough how much this makes the game enjoyable to jump into and play. +Some encounters / scenarios really wowed me with the cleverness of their design. +Heavily rewards approaching the game thoughtfully. There are lots of interactions that the devs accounted for. Cons: -If you're a completionist like me, some things can be frustrating; such as how easy it is to miss large chunks of content because of a choice that seemed inconsequential. Note, this could also be considered a positive of the game! I admit, it does have a certain charm to it, despite the frustration it can cause. -Can be a little grindy. ============== Final Thoughts: While the actual roleplaying elements aren't that high, there are tons of situations which really require you to think about the characters in it, and their relationships with one another. You can brute-force the entire game, but there are lots of times when you are rewarded for carefully thinking things through, which is immensely satisfying. Yet, it's still got a consistently lighthearted tone that makes playing it so fun. The ease with which the game starts up, and how you can load your game immediately, makes it a joy pick up and put down whenever you want. I definitely recommend it if you are looking for a game that surprisingly rewards a thoughtful approach to its setting, while subverting and parodying various lovecraftian tropes, and other horror tropes as well.

gooberific game about eldritch and societal horrors, full of reminders of your PTSD from the west of loathing spittoons too! the combat is pretty awesome compared to west of loathing and the game can be a super fun challenge if you want a more difficult experience than west of loathing was. generally just an incredible game, EASY 10/10

Dec. 2023

this game pays homage to mumflr fumperdink, the man, the MYTH, the LEGEND, who saved so many people from fires in frisco, opened an orphanage for parents, and had a strange love affair with spittoons. for that, this gets a 100/10

Dec. 2023

Very similar to West of Loathing, almost everything that can be said about one title can be said about the other. The main selling points are the humor, storytelling, and the puzzles, with many scenarios and quests being solvable without combat. The new setting is enough to keep everything fresh. There are some mechanical changes to how stats and buffs work I think are a slight improvement, but the combat is almost unchanged. It doesn't go as far as the previous game to give you multiple solutions to each situation (so far each step of the main quest has had one combat solution and one noncombat solution, and only about half the sidequests have multiple solutions), so I think that makes it a slightly worse game overall. But if you liked one game you'll like the other one.
