Welcome to Bummertown

This game is an absolute joke. I’ve never had a worse working experience as main character in my entire career than working with this “developer”. These brain-dead dimwits should be banished of the planet Earth for a mere fact that they make games of this quality. The way they treat main characters and NPCs is illegal. We are all prisoners in here. If by any chance someone is reading this, please send us help. I’m not kidding. Sincerely, Bedford

[b]For full transparency, I refunded [i]Welcome to Bummertown[/i], but my final conclusion is that it is a fairly well made short experience with some great dark humor.[/b] I was actually really enamored with the artwork right off the bat, but the fetch-quest is too strong in this one. Again, it doesn't really do anything wrong, but the core gameplay is a bit bland. I really did enjoy the humor, although the dialogue gets a little long-winded at times. [b]Pros:[/b] +Good price point +The artwork is quite something; I love how it mixes crisp pixel art with photo realism +The humor is great [b]Meh:[/b] =The minigame puzzles such as the sokoban, logic, and sliding picture puzzles could just as soon be left out for me; it's just overly standard stuff [b]Cons:[/b] -The whole thing is a series of fetch quests and it isn't well hidden -I don't know, it never rose above 'mildly fun' -I wanted it to go full dark like [i]Pony Island[/i], but I was 3/4ths of the way through the game and the weirdness you got out of the gate never escalated -D-pad doesn't work on the controller unless you mess with bindings, and so that meant I had to use the keyboard for several of the puzzles (really, both the stick and d-pad should work to get the best controller support) [b]Sure, it's interesting enough to spend an afternoon with, but I think it could have gone a bit further and strayed from standard mechanics.[/b]
