Steam reviews

What players say

Most players recommend this third entry for its humour and puzzles, but many say it falls short of the first two in features and content.

Many players still enjoy the dark humour, the trial-and-error puzzles and the way missions can be retried by room or period, and they like the new cast and the ending. Many others find it weaker than the first two games: the Monstermon card game and the money system are gone, there is no costume or closet customisation, the new principal is barely present, and the missions feel more scripted and less routine-driven. Some call it short for its price and suggest waiting for a sale. Several players also complain about long unskippable cutscenes and a lack of checkpoints. Steam's totals are strongly positive, and reviews in this selection are mostly recommendations, with the criticism concentrated in comparisons to the earlier games.

Praised

  • Dark humour and absurd deaths

    Players enjoy the grim, absurd comedy and the many creative ways characters can die, which they find funny rather than off-putting.

    Many players
  • Trial-and-error puzzles

    Players like the puzzles that require experimenting and figuring out action sequences themselves, with hints given only in dialogue.

    Many players
  • Strong series continuity

    Players who follow the series enjoy the story progression, the new lore and the setup for the next instalment.

    Some players
  • New characters and endings

    The new cast and the final boss battle and endings are highlighted as fun additions, with Davey and the nurse mentioned often.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Less content than earlier games

    Reviewers say it lacks the card game, money system, costumes and closet customisation of the first two games.

    Many players
  • Weaker new cast and principal

    Players find the new characters forgettable and the new antagonist principal barely present.

    Some players
  • Price is high for the length

    Players say it is short and costs more than earlier games, so they advise waiting for a sale.

    Some players
  • Unskippable cutscenes and no checkpoints

    Reviewers find long cutscenes that cannot be skipped and a lack of checkpoints between rooms tedious.

    A few players
Who it suits
Suited to fans of the Kindergarten series and players who enjoy dark comedy and puzzle-solving through experimentation.
Who should skip it
Skip it if you want the card game, money system or customisation of the first two games, or if you expect a long game at full price.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with hundreds of hours were less ready to recommend it and mostly compared it to the earlier games, while newer players mostly praised its humour and puzzles.
