What players say
10/10 game got high had edibles ****ed an old hag went on a p***y adventure got mind f***ed while i'm at it would do it again
This deserves to be put up for game of the year. I learned many things from grandpa, and I will apply those teachings to everyday life.
The tiktok marketing campaign for this game was great, song was everywhere and catchy. The game itself is very basic and buggy, not worth the time spent playing. First DLC was more of the same just in a different area
