I was streaming this game for the first time to test it out. I did not expect in the maybe 30 min of game play to include the "R" slur, several jokes about being a pedo, and using a disabled person as a decoy among many other issues.. This game is really problematic and the jokes are just gross and not funny. Other than the moral issues that I have with this game it also play so very very slow and its painful bc you …

A point-and-click adventure with a black-comedy tone, where cynical humor and morally gray choices drive the fun. The journey sticks with me more than the ending.

What I Liked: Dark Humor & Quirky Dialogue: The game is full of sharp, witty exchanges that keep things light and engaging, even in a zombie apocalypse. Unique Gameplay: Instead of focusing on combat, you use strategy and persuasion, which is a refreshing take on the genre. Cartoonish Art Style: The visuals match the game's comedic tone perfectly, with fun, stylized characters and environments. What I Didn’t Like: …

Unhinged, ridiculous, and kind of brilliant. Let’s be real: the ideal player is either a person under the influence or has a truly broken sense of humor. The dialogue is absurd in the best way, and I wasn’t bored for a second. I fully plan to return to it—with a drink in hand—because it’s just that kind of game. If you enjoy weird, offbeat humor and low-effort fun, this is your kind of trip.

I really loved the artwork, the voice acting and the jokes in the game. Made me laugh a lot xD. It's worth playing
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →overall, it's a good game with a fun and engaging story. it doesn't feel repetitive at all, which makes it great for chilling out. the dialogue is funny and the characters are entertaining. but if you're aiming for 100% achv, good luck lol. some of achv are just too much. like, seriously? you have to win at gambling to unlock them? it's ridiculously hard. especially that one where you need to gamble until both characters' bags are empty. who even came up with that? i haven't completed the…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The visuals are decent, but that’s about it. The gameplay is dull just a basic point-and-click with zero depth. Voice acting is terrible, and the two main characters are annoying. Got it for free, and even then it barely felt worth my time. No way this is worth full price, especially for a 2-hour experience, maybe on sale.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A short game (~2h to finished it). Despite the tag "point & click", it is more a visual novel in terms of gameplay: lots of dialogues, few mini-games, choices and consequences. + writing + dialogues (including dubs) + humour (a little dark) + nice idea with the double-item-value system + general idea of the plot/world
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →KAMGUSTA'S MINI REVIEW I have no idea what people find good in this... "thing". It is supposed to be a "point and click adventure", but your choices do not matter and your clicks are only needed to advance the narrative. There is no "adventure" here, folks. Voice acting is nice, but dialogues are cringe and you can't skip them (that would means skipping the entire game, as it is solely based on those). I didn't find the expected "humor". Ah, no ending; you have to buy episode 2 for that. Best…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Animal doom day It's not that serious zombie game, you gonna be two animals squad that explore and do the decision of to survive in this apocalypse world, by saying not serious I meaning the dialog in this game are written kind of dark humor, this game work out like a tiny flash game with option and variety dialog to went thought, some of them are same and repetitive outcome and some would killed your crew member, anyway this game worth some time to play thought and enjoy it, there no truth…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a great concept with an interesting story. However, I won't be buying any more chapters. I don't want to support this shift within game development, so one chapter is it for me. The only reason I played in the first place is because the first chapter was free.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The idea of a playable adult cartoon episode isn't bad, but the execution here isn't quite there. The humor is kind of whatever, but there aren't enough antics that go on to actually have this feel any more engaging than a very linear visual novel. The voice acting is fine, but dialogue skipping doesn't work the way it should if you want to skip past a certain amount. You will absolutely skip ahead more than you want and the full voice acted lines will still play at once, so if you try…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My god this is a slow-paced game! Too much scripted talking and not enough gameplay. I don't see how it got as high of a rank as it did. Don't waste your time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game feels incredibly sluggish due to its repetitive gameplay loop and lack of meaningful choices that actually impact the story. The art style is unique, but it can’t compensate for the shallow writing and annoying characters that make the experience more frustrating than funny. Overall, it’s a short and overpriced title that fails to deliver a compelling zombie apocalypse narrative.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is fun mainly because of its two main characters (Hank and Larry). Their awkward master and student relationship is full of jokes, arguing, and bad ideas, which makes the story entertaining even with a simple setup.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A game that combines elements of dark humor and relaxation. Overall, it's pretty good, but not quite compelling enough to keep me playing through to the end — it feels like something’s missing. I got the game for free, so I can’t really complain, but at its full price, it definitely needs some improvements to be worth the money.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What scares me is that this game is labelled ‘deep story’ on the Steam
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cute funny short game. Fully voiced, no bugs, nice jokes, and I loved the fox.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As so many others got this one for free. It is a good freebie for once as there is more content to buy as 2nd episode if you are into this. I noticed myself i did not care much about the seemingly railroaded choices you have early on but the game expands itself and choices get consequences. A tad replay value here too with achievements as there are clearly some paths i have no clue how to get into according to achievements. Normal price 4.99€ does not look so bad now after the end credits…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like the art style and some of the jokes but this is barely a game. You get so few interactions and chances to influence the story that it is more like reading a visual novel than playing a game. Everything in the game is surface level, skin deep and borderline meaningless with you being able to influence 2 or 3 outcomes and the rest is the game trading dialogues by itself. There isn't even an option to speed up the dialogues or skip text that you have already read on the screen mid-delivery.…

positive · AI labelView post →I was going to give this a positive review, until I made the mistake of trying to get all achievements. With multiple achievements based on pure luck, I wasted far too much time clicking through the repetitive dialogue ultimately without success. When the guides recommend gambling everything, and replaying the entire game to that point if you fail, as being faster... yeah
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a Scratch looking video with some choices and mini-games to gather resources. One run took about 2 hours. The characters were okay, not completely annoying, but also not good. Some of the writing was a bit too reference heavy which took away from it. Overall not the worst, but kind of mediocre.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is both hilarious & scary at the same time. Sure, the cartoon furry characters & their slapstick antiques would make you smile & laugh. But at the end of each scene you'll always feel the dread of making mistakes creeping up your spine like the cold skeletal hands of death. Choices really matter in this game, so choose your path wisely.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well its a funny cartoon game not much to say i rate this game 5/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It got boring very fast, there is so much pointless chatter (that is supposed to be funny, but is honestly too generic and bland to achieve that) until you can do something, and most times so far, it has been just a dialogue choice; This so far has felt more like a slightly more interactive visual novel, but lacks the story and dialogue to support it. I don't know if it picks up the pace later, but I have completely lost interest already.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The silly nature is consistent through the game, which makes it feel complete. Overall it's nothing special but a good amount of fun for the buck. Of course only if you are into this niche.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Scheming Through The Zombie Apocalypse: The Beginning is one of the weirdest zombie games out there, and honestly, that’s exactly what makes it charming. Instead of fighting hordes of zombies yourself, you play as a retired rabbit salesman who manipulates other survivors into doing dangerous tasks for him while he stays safely out of harm’s way. The entire concept feels absurd, but the game fully leans into its dark humor and surprisingly likable characters. Most of the gameplay revolves…
