It has such a strong and evocative name that I couldn't help myself but to try it first after buying Jack's bundle he was advertising for fundraising. What it does with the name, I felt it wasn't nearly as poignant as I hoped it would be. But the aesthetics, the artistic choices baked into this game make up for it. Yet it has the Glorious Trainwrecks type of problem of the gameplay being very rudimentary and not very compelling. Collect the demons, collect the skeletons. It really doesn't concern me. Nothing about the game itself actually speaks out to me, but the approach to design and visuals and setting a tone do. The only thing in those respects weakening it as some other reviewers have spoken on is the very dated and sort of unfunny memes. I think for the dollar it takes to actually get your hands on this hidden gem is worth it regardless.
Jacks game are some of my favorites. This is early and crude, even dating itself with old memes.
There's still flashes of what's to come. Interesting art, claymation, abrasive dialogue, humor, darkness. One of the best to do it.

this will represent both wyer 1 and 2, as 2 is more like a built in part 2 to the story at this point anyway. went for this after an outcry since jack king spooner was a composer on that (he did a very good job for his tracks on that, even better on this), and gotta say this is my fav game by him out of his stuff ive played so far, which are the ones i played for today + dujanah. v crass and just short of antagonizing, right down to tasks it asks of you or obstacles it puts up to clearly annoy you, but its rly hilarious and certainly makes you feel like you're in hell. and i ran into a glitch/feature where you can skip a lot of stuff n i had to replay up to a certain point to get context again, which felt right w the experience. it feels slightly less heady than other jks games but is far from stupid, n if anything i most liked how it can make the irony tinge n general biliousness so ever-present w/o it overwhelming jack's aphoristic side too much. loved it n very fitting for halloween
btw jack has a game he's recently put up a kickstarter for here! if you arent gonna buy these games at the itch links i provide, at least throw something his way :)
