It seems simple enough, a wacky comedic adventure game that lampoons indie games and the people who make them. While an interesting premise, it's wasted on a clumsy mess of minigames that range from difficult and glitchy, to insultingly simple, all wrapped up into a mediocre, bare bones point and click package.

While an interesting premise, it's wasted on a clumsy mess of minigames that range from difficult and glitchy, to insultingly simple, all wrapped up into a mediocre, bare bones point and click package. Every gameplay segment is a parody of a video game that may or may not still be relevant today (like hey, remember 'Shower With Your Dad Simulator!) and are mostly forgettable.
One very questionable design decision is the lack of checkpoints, the game is made up of 7 chapters, in each chapter you navigate several point and click environments and play 3-4 games, your progress only saves if you finish the chapter, so if you for some reason need to reload because the mini-game you're up to has been rendered un-beatable (thank you 'Binding of Isaac' parody) or you've had enough and want to play something better, then guess what? back to the start of the chapter for you!
The only thing more sloppy and awkward than it's gameplay is it's writing, with it's heavy reliance on shock humour and spontaneous violence, it's a tonal mess that isn't sure if it wants to commit to being a game for 'adults' or edgy 10 year olds since it's quite inconsistent with it's self censorship of course language. For a mostly surreal plot, the story makes less and less sense the more you actually dedicate thought power to it. It even goes for multiple twist endings that are not remotely earned or effective in any way.
The visuals and music are about the only good thing the game has going for it, but nowhere near good enough to distract from it's laundry list of problems. The fact that the developers are Spanish could be the reason at least behind the writing, but this isn't their first game (although funded by kickstarter) so there's no excuse for this many technical issues.
Do not buy this game, not if it's on special, not as a joke, not even for free, it'll still cost you precious time you could be spending playing a much better game, like any of the games it parodied here for example.… Expand
