The joke is that they tricked people into searching for a game that doesn't exist.Elberik said:

...Dammit, I fell for your ploy. That's fine. I understand. You wanted this to happen, and you orchestrated it well. I accept this.
Just know, though.
From now on? I'm wary of your tricks, Carter. I might fall for them again, but I'm wary of them anyway.

The layered joke sandwich:antipunt said:
1. The game doesn't exist
2. Grey understands the gaming community well enough to know that based on his silly "thoughts on the game" after the comic that people would look up the game out of interest and find none, then as intended go, "OHHHHH xD I can't believe I fell for that. Probably shouldn't believe everything I read from someone on the internet because I trust them."
3. It is humorous that Eren complains about there being so many indie games showing up that it is hard to even keep track of all the ones worth knowing about.
4. Tying it all up, we stumble into Eren's problem and assume the game exists and we haven't heard of it somehow BECAUSE there really are too many random indie hits lately.
5. That character being just so d@#$ crazy looking that we believed it would actually be in a JRPG.
Would of been nice if they explained that shit or gave some sort of clue. As it stands the comic is basically lying to the reader & the ultimate joke is that the reader is an lemming that'll believe anything. A joke is 100% less funny when you realize it's on you.cricket chirps said:
That said I'll give them points for being clever but this still isn't a joke, they're just lying & being trolls
People normally call something like this a practical joke. It's like sending someone who is on their first camping trip to look for a left handed smoke shifter, snipes or sky hooks. The humor in it is when you realize you'd been had and slap yourself on the forehead for being gullible enough to believe it.Elberik said:
._. Well, it's called humility. "Oh us gamers are a silly and predictable bunch sometimes." -Laugh laugh- The joke, can in fact, be on us. Sorry this one didn't entertain you.Elberik said:
"Still, Trinity Factor's crafting system is pure gaming crack, I quite literally can't get enough of it."
Meh. They pretty shamelessly ripped off the crafting system from The Stanley Parable (The second one, I mean.) It's hard to admire such blatant plagiarism.

Ah yes, mana khemia... what the atelier series looked like back before some moron executive woke up one morning and said "you know what would make this already perfect crafting JRPG better? 500% more moe!" /facepalmMaster_of_Oldskool said:
Count me among the number of persons fooled into googling. I frequently don't "get" the punchlines of critical miss, since the strips often feature niche indy games or MMORPG references, but in this case my desire to find out if the game really existed got the better of me.
it doesn't exist, though. *sigh* reality is a harsh mistress.
That's her? Huh. Now I feel kinda ashamed, because I'm pretty sure I have that game but have yet to play it. I think it was a Humble Bundle. I shall have to give it a go next weekend.Groverfield said:
The light purple spot where the nose should be is the giveaway, the character's hair is clipped back further, so it's not 100% exact, but what is. To be fair, that's the only one that I did recognize, and here I was looking for Bunny.scienceguy8 said:
