The WhatsNext verdict
For Players who enjoy brisk 2D action with a playful, self-aware narrative: Follow or defy the narrator as you fight through a side-scrolling world that keeps questioning who is in control. Tradeoff: The combat and exploration serve a compact, narrator-led experience rather than a deep action challenge.
