The voiceacting and jokes are hilarious and funny!
Well done!
Where do I start. The game is absolutely over the top Jam game. Complex world, little details that you cared enough to put in (like when the character starts to have bend back after his son died, like wtf, that's RDR2 kind of detail right there). Item usage is so well done a fun to use. Throwing rocks was so fun.
Absolutely stellar voice acting performance. The combination of absurd and comedy is so on point. World really feels alive (actually feels more dead, but you get my point).
PS: Rest in peace Boyo, I hope you have become a dog somwhere up there in the clouds.
PPS: I'm also hungry for some good ol' stone soup.
As already mentioned, any indication that you can leave your first farm area would be great!
The voiceover was hilarious and the humor was really good.
And I am verry happy that I could fulfill my sons dream in the game... :slight_smile:
The first time Im givin all 5 to a game, crazy!
I would have liked a bit more gameplay but maybe this is part of the joke XD

We were afraid that this twisted sense of humor wouldn't appeal to most people. So we thought **** that, let's make a game for ourselves! But you are one of us!
Thank you everybody! You made my day!
As a reward, you will get the joke that inspired this game:
I have a friend who fled to another country. He sent a letter that he now works 18 hours a day at a turnip farm. He sleeps on the soft mud. There's no malnutrition with stolen turnips. Great success.
Envy. I'm setting up my own farm to make turnips. I plow the ground with a stick. There is no hope, only stones grow.
The secret police makes me pay tax for the stone farm. Now I owe a lot of stones. I'm trying, but I only have a few small pebbles. I don't pay, so the secret police says "capitalist traitor." They want to beat me, but I take a stick and a small stone.
There is no stone or stick. Only cold. I'm trying to find a letter from a friend. No letter, just hallucinations of malnutrition. The only escape is death.
Potato.
No way to do something, without potato and without rocks... I think it's a BUG :D
