The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“A musical adventure game about monsters living (mostly) in harmony together in the afterlife, filled with puns? This game is *so* my jam. Which is why I was really disappointed that I just couldn't click with it. The writing didn't hit…”
“Too many adventure games that forget the adventure part... this one starts to feel like a chore after a few minutes... just draaags and it thinks it's far too clever than it actually ever gets.”
