A steal for $4, cute, charming and fun....at first, however it tries to be a little "too silly" and attempts at logic (like calling law enforcement on an arsonist, trying to jailing a murderer, or denying a vampire who has bitten many of his clients ) are often punished, ridiculed and low rated (if you live). Action point/tool usage goes from "Instant 4 stars in 1 turn" and "that's not at all what i wanted to use that tool for". The game intentionally misleads you at times for "comedy". Also for a game designed to be replayed, few things can be skipped (so you spam through the dialogue), level select erases progress, and your "permanent upgrades" are taken away. Just looking at requirements for some 4 stars, it's less "use your brain" and more "follow a guide". The best way to play the game is probably do one blind playthrough, enjoy yourself even with the game talking ♥♥♥♥ to you for not being perfect all the time, beat it and move on. I feel like a new game + with all your upgrades would have made replaying appealing, as well as being able to skip a lot more dialogue. It started off very fun, and still was only $4 at the time. But it got annoying at times
A underrated couch co-op experience because it's so much fun to discuss how to handle each of the zany characters that come before you, and the game does a good job keeping the experience fresh. And unlike its Paper Please inspiration, you regularly experience life in the game's world beyond the guard gate. The only warning I have about this game is that it is *not* child-friendly despite appearances. A kid would be some combination of bored, confused, appalled and traumatized.
