How it feels
A tongue-in-cheek retro RPG where your choices can either play along with the hero fantasy or deliberately screw it up, with a light, self-aware tone.

What players say
Players describe a self-aware RPG parody with 18 endings that can be found in roughly 3 to 6 hours. The loop of replaying from the start wears thin for some, as you re-navigate areas and re-fight bosses, though later quality-of-life items speed things up.
