This game is right up my alley as a fan of old campy sci-fi, with an homage to Harryhausen's stop-motion monsters, executed with absolute perfection! The "movie poster" (title screen) had a different combination of two of the three main characters - one carrying the other, each time the title screen loaded, and a little commentary on why they chose that dynamic for the poster (the one in the thumbnail here caters to the Robot community).

The game acts as a DVD of an old movie, narrated by the director's commentary track. When you die, the director will say this is the wrong clip, rewind, and start the scene again. Because the villains you fight are also actors, whenever you stumble, they actually wait around for you to get up again, which I found an absolutely fantastic little detail. You can see the wire on almost all the floating/flying things. And I know I already mentioned the stop-motion, but that really was the highlight that sealed me in for the long haul on this game.

In the fourth chapter, which the director doesn't remember shooting, they start to slowly break the fourth wall until they completely shatter it. This is where I felt a bit blah about it. It didn't TOTALLY take me out of it, but the ending really felt like they pumped the brakes on the whole thing, which was intentional, but I felt a little bit robbed.

However, overall, it's a gorgeous game with good voice actors (many of which, this is their only project that I could find). I would definitely play this again for a nice chill game day.
