Played in one sitting. From a technical perspective, it's a very bad game. Models with no animations, missing textures, no camera control. A lot of this shoddiness is very funny, like the amateur voice work. One thing it does pretty well is set you off into a (small) open-world experience and hook you back in for a proper story, which is a satire about JK Rowling's politics. I did feel the need to dock a star for the times when the jank makes it more frustrating than fun. Specifically, the camera--a dynamic follow cam that you have no direct control over--can make exploring certain areas much more challenging than it should have been, especially in two-story areas where you can easily fall down if you can't see where you're going.
I should make it clear, by the way, that I'm grading on a curve here. This is a free indie joke game, and very short. It gets four stars because I enjoyed my time with it.
