How it feels
A darkly humorous and surreal point-and-click adventure through a strange post-apocalyptic bar, solving puzzles and meeting quirky, sometimes violent characters.

What players say
Players praise the surreal, fever-dream humor and distinct art style, but agree the game is very short, has easy puzzles, and ends without wrapping up its plot. Voice acting and polish are rough, though many find this amateurish charm endearing rather than off-putting.
