I love the world that this game and its sequel Coral Kingdom Aquarium create. It’s this over-the-top superhero/supervillian city where every inch of both of these games is filled with as much off-kilter humor as possible. Any time they can slip in a funny detail they do.
This game in particular really relies on this humor because the set design and gameplay felt a bit dated. It’s a pretty generic office atmosphere that gets even more vague on where you’re supposed to be later on. The 1st 1/3 had probably the best jokes around it, but I do not remember a single puzzle in this section. The later sections meanwhile, while having the worse set design and story consistency, had my favorite puzzles in the game. The big final interaction had nothing to do with the game at all, but I had a lot of fun with it anyway.
But this barely mattered to me playing the game solely because the amount of jokes in this game is amazing, and this game is worth playing just to experience this world. I’m very happy we decided to play this game after seeing how funny its sequel Coral Kingdom Aquarium was. Despite it not being the strongest as an Escape Room, I still recommend playing this and Coral Kingdom (in that order) to players of any experience level, especially if you’re into absurdist comedy. This game just made me happy.
