It's made for cracking edgy jokes with people at get-togethers, and there are far easier ways to achieve that if you're not picky. You can also play it alone solely for finding all the different outcomes the game has written (there are over a thousand!), which could be entertaining.

As a game, I feel like it's just not that attention-keeping. There are no character developments or complications to be invested in. No incentive to compete with the other players other than just wanting to screw with them; and even then, there's not even an interesting domino effect for the absurdly simple prompts you have as competition. I feel like there's pretty much no thought to seriously put into the scenarios. Everything feels like its detached from any kind of progression in gameplay or narrative. I don't feel particularly accomplished or satisfied when finishing a run.

And the edginess really wore me down. For a game that relies so heavily on you wanting to pine for the characters, they feel so unlikeable (but of course my silly heart pines for them anyway). It rots with so much tongue-in-cheek cynicism without being exciting enough to get me to be a part of that.

I have no doubt many friend groups have enjoyed and will enjoy spending game nights on this. I'm clearly not included in this game's target audience, however much I wish I were.
