Um, and, um, as part of the game, you explore the bean bean kingdom, not the mushroom kingdom. This is a different kingdom, so it has different enemies.

[00:01:36] And, uh, you kind of just, uh, go around and, uh, there's turn-based combat like other role playing, role playing games. And the cool thing is, um, that there's, uh, humor in this game. There are lots of moments that, uh, made me, I didn't exactly laugh, but I, I kind of like
