Best Non-Adventure GameAGS Panel Rating
This MAGS entry does what it sets out to do and has good production values. Gameplay is limited to hammering the keyboard and choosing strategic upgrades.

The graphics and sounds are very good and together with the texts, make the game transmit the vibe of a 1930s author. I think the game is original but the gameplay is somewhat limited, although I think it is a good idea and shows potential.
Interesting concept but besides the insane chapter openings and fun power-ups, it boils down to button smashing.
Totally in agreement with Creamy.
I played along for 20 seconds. Then I put my brain on the table and hammered the keyboard. The "gameplay" gets old very fast but the power-ups are funny.
Fun simulator game, seemingly the only way to win is also to lose! :-) I enjoyed working out different strategies.
