Steam reviews

What players say

Overwhelmingly positive: players love its absurd Norwegian humour and story, though many cannot follow the Norwegian text.

Many players find the game funny and absurd, praising the escalating quest to buy two ice creams for a grandfather, the strange characters and the mix of comedy and surprise. Many reviewers say the Norwegian dialogue is a barrier: some enjoy it anyway as a tone and atmosphere, while others want English or other subtitles, and some note the language settings. Some players mention bugs and crashes, including soft locks after collecting materials, poor performance on older computers and a clumsy restart after certain actions. Some find the paid supporter DLC expensive and feel that a large part of the content sits behind it. Several praise the movement and the replayability of hidden details, while a few note that the game is short and that being killed means starting over. Steam's English reviews are very positive, and the reviews read here agree.

    A few players
Who it suits
Players who enjoy absurd, silly comedy, odd characters and light exploration, and who can follow Norwegian or do not mind reading little of the text.
Who should skip it
Players who want clear dialogue in their own language, a polished technical experience or a long game, and players who dislike being sent back to the start after a death.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with many hours mention the optional DLC and multiplayer more often, and some note recurring bugs, while newer players mostly focus on the humour.
