As a game, ENA: Dream BBQ reminds me a bit of Sludge Life or Smile For Me. First-person perspective, exploration-based puzzles, a bit lo-fi, pretty wacky.

But as an experience, ENA stands out by delivering a ton of surprise and some spectacular animation. I'm very much looking forward to future chapters!

(Chapter 1)

This is a fun little adventure game whose only currently available chapter can be completed in 60-90 min, with some replayability and more chapters apparently on the way. Its style is great, very surreal characters, environments, and writing which are presented in a colorful mix of art styles and languages. Most of the best parts of the game are simply static conversations with these different characters, which are basically all distinct, nicely voice acted, and funny. The goofy old CDI games and some of the associated weird humor definitely appear to have been an influence on the visuals and comedy, though the game plays more like a "walking sim". There are some light bits of puzzling and platforming, optional quests and hidden things, but the game is pretty straightforward overall. I was having trouble getting through games recently, so this was a nice one I can recommend that is quick and reasonably enjoyable and memorable.
