## Gameplay

GameSpot says the game is an "absurdist" game based on Monty Python and X-Files humor.[1] It tells the story of sentient corn created by government scientists who misinterpreted a memo.[1]

During gameplay, players encounter talking objects and solve puzzles.[1] It takes place at an abandoned farm, nearby an active underground research facility.[3] The game also requires you to collect pieces of information.[2]

## Release

Toronto-based studio Finish Line Games worked on it, after they had made Cel Damage HD.[1] A trailer came out in May 2016.[3][4][5] It later came out for PC in the fall.[3][6] It was released on December 1, 2016.[2]

## Reception

Metacritic gave it a compiled score of 65/100 from 17 critics.[7]

City Weekly liked the game and found it entertaining, but disliked the frame rate stalling.[2]
