👍 Strengths

Story & World appears in 40% of analyzed reviews and ranks 30th of 1096. 77 reviews enjoy the humor, which the most upvoted calls excellent and engaging. 23 praise the story, and the most upvoted was moved by a grandfather receiving ice cream and its ending. 20 praise the world, some enjoying an absurd adventure through Norwegian bureaucracy and its quirky characters. Visuals & Sound ranks 313th of 1249, with players describing refined minimalism full of small details, and some praise a heavenly soundtrack and sound design.

👎 Where it falls short

Others hit a softlock when talking to a character or lost an item from their inventory, and a few object to paying to complete new achievements.
