Now, I don't wanna be the one to tell the fine folks over at the Entertainment Software Rating Board how to do their jobs, but I would have also included the following descriptors:
Massive Gender Confusion
Monster Strippers
Statutory Rape
The Gayest Level Ever Seen In A Video Game
And... I can't think of anything else.
Oh yeah, the penis monster. Anyhoo, beneath the penis monsters and whatnot lies a good, old-fashioned murder mystery. You see, people are getting kidnapped and thrown into TVs. Oh yeah, there's a world inside the TV. It's all foggy in there. And then the fog moves from the TV world to the real world and the person in the TV dies. And the body gets sent to the real world. Oh, and the murderer's next victim shows up on TV before they get kidnapped. And after. But only when it's raining outside. And only at midnight. And the world in the TV is formed by the people who go there. Their suppressed thoughts and feelings take on a physical form, you see. Uh, what else? There's a big talking stuffed bear going through an identity crisis.
So for half of the game, you're hanging around your small little town, making friends and girlfriends (am I right, playa?) and having a gay old time. That is, when they're not telling you about their incredibly depressing lives. "Hmmm, should I hang out with the promiscuous teen idol who probably wants to bang me, or should I go swallow razorblades with the guy whose sister just got murdered? THIS IS QUITE THE PUZZLER." -- Me
And for the other half of the game, you go fight monsters and rescue people who get thrown into the TV world. And you get to create your own monsters to fight those monsters. It's kinda like Pokemon but with more penises.
