The WhatsNext verdict

For Fans of playful, meta-humorous indie games who appreciate rapid genre-hopping experiments and tongue-in-cheek gaming history parodies.: Its chaotic premise constantly pivots between radically different gameplay styles, keeping the brief adventure fast-paced and packed with creative surprises. Tradeoff: Because the game continually switches systems, individual sections can feel mechanically unrefined and the overall experience is quite brief.
