The puzzles were logical and enjoyable. (For anyone reading, would not suggest this for children due to drug references) ### 5/5 — Awesome Game!! *2025-03-28* Short and sweet, it was actually very cleverly made and took me a bit to figure out some of the things that were needed to do in-game. I never review games but I really loved it! I wish there could be a part 2 someday, maybe of the barber + meat pie lady lol. Thanks!! ### 1/5 — Weird *2025-02-08* Whoever birthed this game is either a cannibal or psychopath or both. **Developer response:** LOL.
