Reviews

[Periklis]

Good ol' British anti-totalitarian satire, fast-paced action, & nice in-jokes.

[Timo]

Nice idea and premises, but tries way too hard to be witty and satirical.

[Bosco Burns]

Dont really get it

[Stefan]

Very disappointing. Artwork is great but the story is a complete mess and the attempts at humor/satire fall completely flat. Every single character has 1 note/trait.
