Q: Obvious sexual overtones in the game? I heard about it via comments elsewhere. For instance an explicit reference to a glory hole, “service” offer to/from woman in only a towel, creepy leering old guys, multiple characters expressing sexual orientation …

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Refreshingly beautiful action-adventure game
As far as Indie Games are concerned this one is one of my most favorite ones, I've played so far in 2022. The story is very dark and mysterious but also has its comical moments. The 2D environments are colorful, beautiful, imaginative. The puzzle elements are great, and the music is fantastic. Some enemies are tricky and so it doesn't become a redundant hack and slash if you are to survive this harsh post-apocalyptic world. If I had to recommend a Zelda Link to the past type of game to play now, this would be it. GET IT NOW!

Glad we finally got a US release
Beautiful cover art. I just beat this one a few weeks ago. Charming little game, but can get pretty heavy on dialogue
