Alright, so I just finished the game and both holiday specials. And I have to say… wow. Never ever would I have expected myself to play a fetish game, let alone enjoying it and caring about the plot. I know it’s an often joked thing to talk about playing “ for the plot”, but it was legitimately the way I felt at many points in the game. The comedy, the fights, the writing, the characters… The way each one felt like their own person was incredible, especially Clara and Pro, my two favourite characters. The side characters were just as lovely, my faves ended up being Heidi, Chuck and MY FUCKING BRO JOSH!!! And all the references! God, I nearly screamed when I saw the fairy cave’s bar section. So much references to Disco Elysium! And the moment of the DJ looking like a disguised Colon akin to Jean… ugh, just love it. Every bit fell together nicely, all victories felt earned and the ending montage just made me feel proud. Proud of Nerds’ incredible writing, Clinko’s to-the-point describing art, and myself, for having finished the game.
Having left all this praise, however, I do have to point out some bugs I encountered. One of them simply made the screen freeze, though you could still interact with stuff despite not seeing any changes. This could only be fixed with a reset, and needless to say, cost me a couple of progress points.
Another thing is Waldhirsch constantly bugging out as empty, (at least here in the end game bits) kinda stopping me from finishing the brewery quest. Should have done it earlier, probably, but hey. It is what it is. Not that obvious you can go that far back…
All in all, I should probably conclude this long, pointless gushing over a fetish game. I’ll just say: Thank you Nerds for making a game that truly goes well above and beyond just a simple fetish game and inspiring the way I write comedy, thank you Clinko for expressing the scenarios, both funny and horny, as well as you did and thank you Desayn for all the spriteworks and animating, for which I feel you deserve a bit more credit. I’m probably gonna stick here in the forum lurking, making SB shitposts here n there, though I was thinking of suggesting a fandom wiki or a TvTropes page… it just feels deserving, I guess. So to truly finish this all off, I’m gonna say I’ll be looking out for any and all new stuff of this trio, or you three’s individual work, especially with Nerds, because I was really in love with his writing and comedy throughout most of SB and I’d really love to see more.
Godspeed, you sons of Lantrum.
