BASS has an interesting premise, and a framework for a potentially good game, but feels rushed and underdeveloped. And it can't seem to decide if it's a comic adventure or dark dystopian mystery. I give it a 5.

I loved Joey and the Spoiler Alert dog-goes-swimming was very funny.  

But the game is quite short and feels indeed rushed towards the end so I can only hand out a 6 for this one. Probably if I replay it and I notice that the game is funny enough it gets an upgrade to 7...

You should be able to -- I set the time allowed to remove votes very high, a number of years.

I rather enjoyed it, even though there were some slight inconsistencies, and I never did get the sound to work correctly.  Some plot points / developments were weak, and I agree - it couldn't decide if it was a comedy, a horror, or a futuristic sci-fi game...

But overall, the puzzles were logical for the most part, and I rather enjoyed Joey...  I'll give it a 7.

p.s.

THANK YOU!!

It was a fun game, I don't think I would have played it without the community involvement. "5"
