As Advertised! Watch the Trailers!
I picked this one up because I wanted a puzzle platformer with simple gameplay, big on plot, and off-the-wall, over-the-top humor. I got what I wanted! Oh yeah, and a really melodic and memorable soundtrack, too! (Which is ALSO worth purchasing!)
There's a disclaimer when you navigate to this game's page, as well as when you start up the game, telling you this's essentially an "R" rated game. I didn't find anything terribly offensive or depressing, but maybe I'm not easily offended...I’m also kinda old. :/
Each area's alternate universe is essentially one of the ways in which the world could possibly end...you're going to be seeing some red-blasted skies, dead bodies, corpses and skeletons in places, along with collectibles that might give you an idea of what happened there, providing miniature, side plot lines.
The trailers are an accurate representation of what to expect, especially humor-wise; there're quite a few dramatic plot twists, and gory and horrific things all played JUST for laughs, not to mention your run-of-the-mill irony...and then the scriptwriters decide they want to be 100% serious and wax existential in the last two chapters.
Not sure if the scenes with characters waxing poetic under the spotlight - amidst pitch black darkness (reminiscent of Evangelion, of all things) - is parody, or meant to be taking seriously; there are some breakneck tonal shifts between humor and drama.
The plot of this game would probably feel right-at-home as an anime.
I 100%ed this game in 10 hours, over 2 evenings (The Achievement descriptions tell you EXACTLY what you need to know in order to get them)! Only needed a walkthrough to tell me how to get 2 collectibles that I missed (which I didn't even know you could pick them up!)
In other words, it's not that hard, but it's enjoyable; you're pretty much guaranteed an automatic easy good time, that you can pick up easily and finish relatively quickly, as opposed to having to sit through a bunch of tutorials.
