Kickstarted around April 2020, I was a backer for this game. I backed it because it promised a fun rogue-lite experience and a queer plot. What isn’t there to enjoy? I ended up playing the Switch version on my stream one morning after receiving my key in March of 2021. This game is exemplary. Sadly, it is exemplary of so many negative things. Let’s get into this.

Backlog Report: How to Play

I own, far too many games for my own good. While I have beaten a good number of them, I don’t have clear and recent memories of them. So in this series of articles, I’ll be going into depth as I finish each game, detailing my thoughts as I go. Each will be graded on five points—Gameplay, Story, Graphics, Sound, and Replay. These are key points that I find important for my true enjoyment of a game. I will also be defining how finished I am with the game—Unfinished, Beaten, Completed, or Mastered. This is a lot, so I’ll break it all down. So strap in and open your Instruction Manual, because it is time to learn how to play!
