Aug. 2025
Story is okay, not on King's Quest level, but entertaining enough. Main character is also well-written. I especially loved how this game made fun of PETA, you know, Petra --> PETA, and how illogical and obnoxious they actually are. Also, there are some easter eggs, like Layla from Star Wars.
