I think the developer has played Disco Elysium and the Stanley Parable and tried to recombine elements into something new and different, but I have been overexposed to the format/genre chosen: a fourth-wall breaking reflection on the violence inherent in classical folk stories and fairy tales.

Despite sounding niche, this has become mainstream, think of Shrek, Shrek 2, Shrek 3, etc, etc.

It's not that there is nothing here, it's just that it feels too derivative and generic for me to enjoy it.
