With some fantastic highpoints, some more straightforward areas will have you yearning for a bit more depth.

The pen is mightier than the sword.

After all, words can cut directly to someone’s heart.

The skeletal elder god Ms. Mitternacht in Great God Grove is sobbing spurts of red tears while saying “Ki-i-i-ing, my angel, my cavalier, why’d you have to disappear?” The player has a range of speech bubble options and is hovering over “Don’t worry Missy!” Inspekta will save the day!"

To make matters worse, this disarray comes on the precipice of disaster.

Even if you have to use your magical suction cannon to do it.

Joining you throughout your quest is Inspekta and his Bizzy Boys.

Talking with Byoolah in Great God Grove, who is wearing a lovely dress. The player has selected “Please!!! I need that dres!!!” but Byoolah is saying “I can’t give it willy nilly to some ACTRESS.."

Mildread, the second location you reach, is home to Cobigail, the God of the Harvest.

Scrabbling for a solution, even human sacrifice may be on the menu next.

But, while a wedge has been driven between them, the conflict feels fairly weak.

In a town square with pigeons in Great God Grove, Dr. Cara, who is green, is telling the player “I just told you to BuzzHuzz off.” The player is selecting “I order you to open this alley!!!"

Fairly brief, Great God Grove doesn’t outstay its welcome, and its great gimmick remains novel throughout.

In comparison, what you’re doing can end up feeling much tamer.

But it certainly doesn’t suck.
