Very sweet. I didn't love the text box screen design, but i fuck with the vision. There's something that lets me imagine a more dynamic line read if I can see more of the character on screen. like even if they had those profile pics pop up on screen super imposed on the game, i think I would've been more into it than cutting away to a black screen like that. But it wouldve been less impactful upon returning to the 3d space, and seeing all the characters in their new positions.

I really loved the blocking of these scenes. kinda reminds me just how much a sweet spot between comics and theatre this medium is. It's just that slight bit more agency it gives its audience over pace and perspective. I love it. Very cool stuff.

The script was great. I wish they got INTO it a little more but not every story has to show so much of their characters so obviously. I like how we just got peeks into their lives outside of this camping trip. Maybe I just loved em so much I wanted more. Ah well. I guess I'll just go camping with my own loved ones. hell yeah.

With no tutorial, barely a UI, and not a single english character in sight for the entire game, HWMR is unleaded, stay home from church, rubber melting fun. I just wish it was longer.

More games should have secret tunnels, corridors, unexplained and unhinted stumble-upon-ables. This one has exactly 9, but they each feel like a handshake with bigfoot upon discovery. What if we kissed in the hidden star room through the snake's mouth on the toy track in hotwheels microracers?

Besides - what's not to love about a miniature environment? Minish cap, chibi robo, toy story for the playstation - all those games make the house feel bigger. If you ever went "ZHOOO00000M, BRRRRRRRRR, or even NYYEEeeeeuuww, with hotwheels. Or even raced with paperclips along your desk... Idk what else to say, this is that feeling.

Someone for the love of hasbro pick up the loose thread from this game. The sensation of racing little toys along a smooth surface, imagining your hand transparent to effortlessly picture the sickest tricks played out by your little car. That feeling, with all thresholds and simulacrums it crosses and carries in the human imagination, is one I'm dying to see explored in games.
