This has started out nice and weird, makes me wish I had a local bar like that. It's giving me some Hitchhikers' Guide vibes, and the voice acting is very nice so far.

This game is clearly made with a lot of love and care (especially all the puns), but yeah, I definitely feel like it's not aged well in terms of its reliance on the audience being of a certain age and cultural background to get all the references that it relies on. I also get the feeling that it also assumes the player is very familiar with the source material? Not being in that camp, I don't yet understand enough of the setting/world for it to seem very consistent, or to have much of an idea about what Jake can/can't/should/shouldn't try to do. Having you tag along with another character leading the way was a great way to ease in with the previous big quest, but a bit of exposition about Pyotr and his background would have gone a long way in the leadup to this one. I'm still waiting to see if the intro cutscene has any bearing on what we've seen and done so far (I'm a few videos behind though, so maybe this has changed).
