However, these are subtle and minor details that don’t have any real bearing on the story. Sexual Content: There are two homosexual characters in a relationship and another character who may be bisexual (you go on a mock date with this character in a mini-game). Language/Crude Humor: There’s no bad language besides some “dangs” and “hecks.” Arguably, most of the humor could qualify as crude, with joke topics ranging anywhere from health conditions to death.
Additionally, two of the endings involve the player committing an act of violence (I can’t go into more detail without spoiling them). The player occasionally has violence threatened against them, but it’s always comedic. In the haunted drawer mini-game, some of the drawers’ contents include blood, an eyeball, and other spooky or violent objects. Violence: Besides Pat believing his family is going to kill him, two twins and their mother allude to poisoning their father/husband. The instance that came across the most “serious” to me was the tarot card reading, but even that had comedic elements to it. Although, as with almost everything, these mini-games, locations, and other references are primarily played for laughs. You receive the family member badge of a character who’s a ghost upon completing the ouija board mini-game. Ghosts appear here and in other parts of the game as quick gags. There’s also a location called “Nana Rue’s Antique Shop” which is haunted. Noteworthy mini-games include: exorcising ghosts from a phone, protecting a baby from being possessed by ghosts, looking for shoes in a haunted chest of drawers, using an ouija board, getting a tarot card reading, and blocking out distractions so a new-age character can reach some sort of enlightenment.
Spiritual Content: There are far more spiritual and supernatural elements littered throughout the game than I expected. And thankfully, I wasn’t disappointed! This charming game made me laugh out loud at every turn, and I’m sure it won’t be long before I pick it back up.
It looked like my kind of game in every aspect: the cartoony art style, the hyper-specific humor, the point-and-click exploration…every element was there. As soon as I saw the trailer for Later Alligator, I got excited.
