A game ahead of its time, might be one of my favorite games ever. It’s weird as hell and won’t click for everyone but it’s unforgettable that’s for sure.

Dan Smith is one of the coolest mfs in fiction and there’s an Epstein boss battle, what else do you need in a game?

Proof that games are art

I do consider this game an underrated masterpiece but it has some issues.

The story, setting, characters and lore are what what sets this game apart. Anyone familiar with Suda51 will know his games are famous for their frenetic, crazy, seemingly nonsensical energy. However, there is order in the chaos, there is meaning and sense to seemingly unrelated and meaingless shenanigans. The story will stick with you long after you stop playing the game. You'll spend the entire time playing trying to figure out what's going on, and no one knows what's going on, perhaps not even Suda51 himself.

The gameplay is not terrible, it's like a point and click adventure style puzzle solving game and a rail shooter combined. You traverse levels, and any time you hear laughter, you have to plant your feet and look for invisible enemies by scanning them, then you need to shoot them before they reach you. The controls are very odd to say the least, but once you get the hang of them it feels intuitive. The "Puzzle solving" is probably the lowpoint of the game. You look for items around levels, you take items to other places, you unlock doors... I found it was just padding between boss and story encounters, but I did enjoy going around killing different types of enemies as I explored the levels.

But it's still a must play, you need to experience this game for yourself to really appreciate the absurd value it holds.
