So, let's see how many keywords it takes before you tap out (I was
gone by the third one (-:

    "Indie"
    "Procedurally generated"
    "Rogue-like"
    "Survival-horror"
    "Prop-hunt"
    "Meat world"
    "Dark comedy"
    "Randomized weapons"
    "Absolute nonsense"
    "Jump scares"
    "Two unique skins for $10 DLC"

This is purest Indie; a bunch of intriguing ideas thrown together into
a very poorly amalgamated lump. It's sophomoric humor that's based
more on shock-value than actually being funny, combined with clumsy
gameplay and wrapped in a visually unappealing package.

On the one hand, good on this game, because it is very experimental
and this is the sort of game we'd never see from the triple-A (or even
B-tier) publishers. On the other hand, it's also the sort of game I
have absolutely no interest in playing... or even adding to my
library.
