This game felt like getting trapped in an anxious state and falling into a deep fever dream after watching South Park. I became a shrimp, experienced heart-wrenching yuri, died due to a failed backflip, and created a new world. Lovely experience.

This game somehow manages to be both peak comedy and extremely climatic at the same time. I was laughing one moment and rethinking my life choices the other.

Short game with an interesting plot and cute main character. Good artstyle and nice soundtrack (bad sound loop though). Questionable game design decision: endings in this game are determined by the words you pick (there aren't that many choices). While playing, the game doesn't even try to tell you that the words you pick will change anything. Every word choice feels more like a joke. Feels like this game should have a sequel with how incomplete the story felt. Overall, I enjoyed this game, but it's not for everyone. If you want a game with deep story that will give you food for thought then "q.u.q" is not for you. This game is for people that like short stories for one evening.
