« Very funny game. If you like Monthy Python, you will love this one too. »👍 anonymous review · 4 h played1« A wonderful point-and-click quest with cool classical music and humor.

« The comedy is either going to stick the landing rather immediately for you, or it won't. It did not for me. »👎 anonymous review · 0 h played« It's a cute gimmick for the first few scenes, then it gets boring fast, sorry. Really wanted to like this, as a fellow Terry Gilliam fan, but gameplay just extremely basic and there's not enough to keep me interested past the beginning. »👎 anonymous review · 0 h played« Blasphemous game, reddit humour, really only a terminally online redditor would find this game funny »👎 anonymous review · 1 h played« I dont really see the appeal of the game. »👎 anonymous review · 0 h played« Woof. I suppose the world keeps making 15 year olds, so they keep laughing at unhinged stuff. Meh. »👎 anonymous review · 0 h played« J'ai adoré ce jeu qui est très drôle et convient parfaitement à la nerd fan d'histoire de l'art que je suis. J'ai acheté le jeu en promo et c'est les 3€50 les mieux investis de ma vie. »👍 anonymous review · 4 h played
