Heard that this game was funny. So far I haven'y had much fun let alone funny. This has turn based combat so pretty boring for me.
I'll change this if anything changes.

It's ok, good turn based combat game with witty humour, but very jank. If you're desperate for more weird, ion storm sci fi stuff, this is for you. Gonna need a guide almost 24/7 to know what the hell to do though. Also, did anyone else get a bug with the final boss where it would just break the game when you beat him so you weren't able to complete it? Restarted three times and still wouldn't work, so I had to watch the ending on youtube.

It's clearly a classic, way ahead of it's time, i'm surprised it's not quoted more as a classic, sadly however it's not a finished story with no planning of a future game being made since the publisher was closed, great game, but it was a history that was never finished.

The game has a really good story, with very charming characters and relationships, and very ambitious cinematography. The soundtrack is atmospheric oozing personality. This is a very one of a kind game. However, the gameplay can be bothersome. It distracts from the main goal at times, the combat can take forever at times, and the puzzles can be very annoying and hard to figure out. But if you can take that on, or use a walkthrough, you're bound to have an amazing time. A true 7/10, if you know what I mean.

This game is a delightful story wrapped in a barely playable game in 2025. It may not be long before this dated game can still be played. This game is 100% story and humor-driven and its good that both are better than most games.
I would not recommend this for players that do not have patience to read.
