What players say

Это была вроде хорошая игра но я забыл почему, но там можно скороводкой всех пиздить, так что оценка 6/7

I love this game! the music, the pixel art, the world and the story are all amazing. i never played earthbound or mother (many people have said this is inspired by those games) but this game is amazing.
tkurbRecommendedafter 32hOct 2026Read on Steam
After the second chapter plot made zero sense, had no connection with the first half of the game. It felt like the writer got changed halfway through. Also this looks like a game for kids but there're a lot of really weird sexual jokes like a milf in a tight night dress or a glry hole vendor machine.
