What players are saying

Positive

  • I waited years to play this because I always assumed it was overhyped. Today, I finally played it... I get it now. This game is so thoughtfully put together. The colors shift depending on which of the four characters are on screen, each character has their own music, and every new ending reveals another little piece of how everything fits together. I played it with my partner sitting next to me, and whenever we unlocked a new ending, we took turns choosing which route to try next. A lot of the outcomes genuinely surprised us, which made figuring out how all the different choices connected even more fun. What I loved most is that despite being called Bad End Theater, it never becomes miserable. There are still plenty of moments that made us laugh or chuckle in between all the terrible things happening. We ended up playing until we got every ending and all of the achievements (about 3 hours). Bad End Theater is clever, charming, surprising, and incredibly well executed. The hype is well-deserved.

  • This game has been such an experience. The depth and re-playability that each of the characters have in their stories caught me every time, and the finale felt well-earned. The art is amazing and I would kill for a chance to meet the people who made such a fantastic game! Definitely recommend others to play it for themself!

  • honestly this game lacks some depth, minor spoilery discussion ahead, but it really just feels like there's nothing deeper to this story other than "bad things keep happening to these characters, dont you want to stop it?" there wasnt really a single moment where i had any contemplation or felt any emotion.
