As far as post-hiatus Homestar Runner stuff goes, this was pretty good! I had kinda felt that this series was leaning a little too far into in-jokes and call-backs so I was glad to see this game put more focus on just, y'know, regular jokes. (The call-backs and stuff are still there and plentiful, but you're not gonna be completely lost if you don't get them)
The voice acting is great as always, and there's a lot of funny lines and interactions hidden in the many, many lines you get by looking at, talking to, and trying to get/use everything you can click on. My one complaint is that trying to find "hidden actions" (achievements) can get really frustrating in the second and third episodes, given how easy it is to accidentally advance the story and how obtuse the hints can be. But that's not really gonna matter if you're just playing casually

I can never get enough call-backs tbh but I dig how standalone this was. I think they were trying to make it more approachable for people unfamiliar with the series considering that even the "homemade movie" sort of framing Dangeresque usually has is mostly absent aside from a few references.
