I have more play time than listed.

This game has excellent graphics and the voice acting is awesome, but the game itself is dull and unfunny. I'll play just about anything if it has a good story, but I was not entertained.

I had this game in my wishlist for years but for some reason never committed to buying it until just recently. I think I was concerned that the game would rely entirely on absurdity and "randomness" in place of actual humor or something. Turns out I was dead wrong! This adventure game is utterly delightful and I enjoyed every second of it. I've been depriving myself for years for no good reason.

Make no mistake, of course: the game is utterly absurd, and is chock full of nonsensical things happening apparently out of nowhere and without necessarily having any connection to the rest of the action. It's pulled off with panache, though, and the net result was a game that felt constantly surprising. The game leans into its irrelevant asides, piling more content into one-off scenes than some other games do to main game areas. The scenes are absolutely dense with interactable objects, with a gloriously off-kilter visual style which is fun to inhabit. Completionists may find themselves spending up to 20 minutes just getting to grips with a single room, trying to ferret out all the distinct dialogue lines that can be triggered.

The humor is often crude, but never mean-spirited (though Paradigm, the main character, often directs his harshest barbs at himself). Most importantly, the humor actually uses the absurdity and incongruity as a starting point to build on. Where a lesser game might have introduced a talking glam-rock pug purely to showcase the silliness and then move on, Paradigm adds a layer of characterization and humor on top and lets the experience linger for the player. When you encounter something weird or strange in the game, you're left eagerly awaiting what it'll do next, instead of just going "lol" and having it dismissed immediately. My only real complaint is that the humor does lean into self-referential fourth wall breakage a bit too often, especially in the early sections of the game.

The puzzles in the game are largely quite straightforward, and pretty obvious once you've got the items you need. It's also a Lucasarts-inspired adventure game in that there seems to be no way to put yourself in an unwinnable state. The only reason you might want multiple savegames would be to help gather up any missed achievements, in case that's something that might interest you. In the end, I'd wholeheartedly recommend this. It's well worth the full price, and it's probably about the most fun adventure game I've played in some time.

its stupid from a smart persons mind and that makes it really fun :)
