It's very good and very long. Lots of value for your money if you like rpgs.

Most of the creepy stories are side-quests you can avoid (unless you want to collect all the jobs, which you'll probably want to do anyway).

I thought the skeeviest quest which you can't escape is the one that involves a beauty contest. There are several male characters who incessantly comment on how much skin the girl in the contest needs to show, and it goes on forever and they keep referring back to her embarrassing outfit later for lols. I did not need that, especially as the art makes them all chibi and young.

Apart from the skeevy sexism above, other creepiness includes:

- a compulsory storyline involving child slaves in a mine
- children being killed/taken over by plants (and their own stupidity)
- a storyline which includes people suffering of thirst
- a storyline about an abandoned child which does not end well

And of course the main gameplay is about battles, so you kill a cast of thousands. But you're cute as you do it.

I actually thought the beauty contest was funny, because the writers make no attempt to give Ringabel and Yulyanna any dignity at all while they perv out over bikinis. They're very clearly the butt of the joke, even if they don't realize it. ("Every woman to put it on has instantly and irrevocably hated me!")

Also, I give the game kudos for not actually making Agnes wear that thing. Putting it on just wouldn't be in-character for her.

Those were the two main saving graces for that storyline: that the skeevy men were clearly labelled as such by the other characters, and Agnes stayed in character and decided not to wear the revealing dress.

Still, I did feel like the writers were having their cake and eating it. There was the morality lesson at the end, while the writers still got to put in all the creepy references.

It was funny, but only in parts. It would have been a lot less creepy if the humour had been more consistently good.
