Hilarious and fun! However, I am concerned about racial bias because every single character in this game is white.

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

Its A LOT more linear but is still very fun just not as replayable as West of Loathing. The combat is also more challenging which does make it quite fun. I think I prefer West of Loathing, but this game was worth what I paid

I think this is the most funny game of all time. It doesn’t necessarily include the funniest thing in a video game, but it has the largest amount of funny moments in any game. Except for the games with really high replayability, that could potentially continue to be funny for thousands of hours, which isn’t even really a fair comparison. Out of all the finite single player games, this game has the most funny moments. But even this statement doesn’t accurately represent the funniness present in this game, the number of funny moments is only half of it, the average magnitude of each funny moment is great too. This game has the largest average magnitude funniness of all video games, in addition to having the largest funnies per minute of any video game. Except, even this statement, is an inaccurate portrayal. There are games with very infrequent but incredibly funny moments that have an average funniness higher than the jokes present in West of Loathing, and there are games that sacrifice the average funniness of its funny moments for the sake of having many more slightly funny moments. What Shadows over Loathing does that is special is balance out these two factors. Imagining a graph where one axis is funny frequency and one axis is funny magnitude, Shadows over Loathing’s coordinates on this graph functioning as the vertex on a rectangle which also had a vertex at 0,0 would have the largest area of any game.
