Punchline!! is a slice-of-life comedy visual novel. Enter the not-so-sane daily life of an eccentric, good-for-nothing bum with an unhealthy interest in peculiar conspiracies and a snarky, cynical part-time drunk as they navigate the weird and wacky city of Noo Yawk.

It was pretty good, a lot of great and lovable character and overall a pretty good story.
This is a somewhat dumb, but funny read. Opposite of the novel itself, there's a behind the scenes of the game when finishing it that has some insights.
Read a short visual comic book, then get thrown into a text based TED talk by the developer. + Music. Very chill instrumental. + Liked how the dev started his TED talk at the end. How he wanted to be able to have contact with players and introduce who he was. Thought that was kinda cool. What it evolved into, was kinda weird, but whatever. + Some parts made me chuckle slightly. - Graphics. - Most of the story. Wasn't a terrible story, but wasn't great either. Sped read it in 12 minutes, including the TED talk already mentioned. -Chapter 9 there's a glitch where the arrow is actually behind the button you need to click, but it still progresses through the story. This wasn't absolutely garbage. But it wasn't great either, And the fact that I'll never open it again is why it's getting the negative. Fairly mediocre in most respects. Overall: 5/10

Аркадная игра с элементами файтинга и юмористическим уклоном: игрок участвует в комедийных поединках, использует абсурдные приёмы и строит цепочки смешных ударов, чтобы победить соперников. Плюсы: забавный стиль — гротескная графика и нелепые анимации создают лёгкую, шутливую атмосферу; нестандартная боевая система — вместо обычного файтинга акцент на комичных приёмах и «ударных» шутках; динамичные поединки — короткие раунды не дают заскучать и поддерживают высокий темп игры. Минусы: поверхностный геймплей — после освоения базовых приёмов новизна быстро угасает, глубина отсутствует; ограниченное число персонажей — небольшой выбор бойцов снижает реиграбельность; однообразные арены — локации мало отличаются друг от друга, визуальное разнообразие невысоко. Итог: порадует тех, кто ищет лёгкую аркаду с юмором и нестандартным подходом к файтингам — развлекает абсурдными поединками и динамикой, но может разочаровать простотой механик, малым числом персонажей и скудным разнообразием локаций.
it's a VN in the truest sense of the word, so there's technically no gameplay, just a huge amount of comic panels. + i liked the art style + the UI is very polished... especially compared to the renpy shovelware everyone else is doing nowadays for some reason + sound design is also on point
fun game to play
выглядит хорошо
