    There is something weird about this game. It is exactly just like Mechanika. Everything is the same. Very simple graphics. Okay soundtrack. Very simplistic point and click gameplay, without any challenging puzzles. Still, I just wanted to reach the end.

    The story is very predictable, but it's not a bad point. The game is full of contemporary popcult references, that won't age well. Same dark humour as we've seen in Mechanika. And the same missed opportunity. You could have made out so much more of this idea!
    All in all: fairly funny point and click, with tons of trophies. You want a participation trophy? You will get one every 8 minutes. On a more serious note: this is a very simple and not too short fun game. It will not be on GOAT lists. But you will look out for this developer studio, just as I will.    … Expand

    Not everyone will enjoy Agatha Knife's off-putting world but those who do will find a lot to like about this quirky adventure game.

    Agatha Knife is all barks and no bite as it makes fun without being mean or mocking. I expected to sit through some profound lesson but much to my surprise – and without spoiling too much – the outcome was positive for all the parties involved. In the end, the unique presentation and a curious premise hide a somewhat familiar parody and the so-called criticism the game likes to think it represents isn’t as sharp as Agatha’s knifes. Or maybe I’m so used to all things weird that it would take something more outrageous to freak me out. On the other hand, maybe it’s better that Agatha Knife plays it safer because even the most straight-laced individual can enjoy the charm of Agatha’s sincere antics set against a strange world of (make)belief.

    Stick with it long enough to see Agatha create her meaty religion, and the writing really starts to shine. This is a game in which it’s not out of place for a hamster to start talking to you, while trash TV transfixes its drooling owner. Nerdy references pepper the dialogue and hide in the lovingly crafted background art. Agatha herself is a wonderfully complicated character; we see things from her innocent and skewed perspective, for good or ill. The puzzling is relatively simplistic -- there's nothing here to match the nonsensical item combinations of the genre's luminaries. But this is a game more about story and tone than pixel hunting, and the result is a decent, bizarre experience.
