Get to know a family of gators in Alligator New York City, and uncover the future murderer of the bestest birthday boy.
This game was really great! The art, music, and writing are all superb and feel right at home with my personal tastes. It isn't super long, but be advised, if you care enough you may be replaying the game several times for reasons I won't disclose. For me, it was likeee..4 playthroughs, mainly my fault, but the 3 after the first went very fast. I spent about 6 hours to fully do everything in the game (including the other 3 plays). Which is to say though, the things you're able to do are pretty fun!
The whole experience is basically a bunch of mini games and bits of point and click visual novel. I never really had any personal issues with the design choices of the mini games, but I did have a bug or two. The game felt really polished, but somehow I managed to break 2 of the games. I won't go into detail, but both times they felt like they were a 1 in 100+ chance. It was like, basketball stuck between the hoop and the backboard-esque. Softlocked me. Regardless, I was enthralled all the way through, even on the repeat playthroughs of the game.
This is going to be the upsetti spaghetti paragraph though. So according to Steam, the game is fully optimized and playable on the Steam Deck. This was mostly true. See, I played the entire game on that thing with a Switch controller. Do not do this. Here I am after playing, desperately trying to pull just my unbiased feelings about the game to the surface, and not my absolute anguish from playing a point and click game with a controller. Nearly every single mini game would be so much easier with a mouse. Some of them felt borderline impossible, even. My playtime was much higher because of this absolutely awful decision I had made, and I ended up souring my feelings towards the game a bit. Please use mouse and keyboard.
I went in blind, and played it with a friend, so we opted for the couch experience. I wish I had known more about the game prior. Pain.
This is a fantastic snack-sized treat, and it's def worth your time!
