Kraken Academy!! surprised me with its zany humor and delightful time-looping mechanics. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment I spent on campus, making friends with classmates by bringing a goat to a horse race, going on QTE dates, and summoning poop demons (don’t ask). If you enjoy seriously creative — and seriously crazy — games that take outlandish writing to the next level, Kraken Academy!! is now accepting students.

Kraken Academy!! is a well-crafted adventure story. With endearing characters, intriguing time-travel mechanics, and a retro-style look, Kraken Academy!! will undoubtedly appeal to those looking for a game reminiscent of the adventure games of the ‘90s.

I found it a nice palette cleanser between longer and more involved games given its approachable design and simple puzzles, so if that's what your in the mood for, Kraken Academy might be worth a campus visit. A free demo on the eShop is also available for anyone on the fence. Ultimately, it's nowhere near a failing grade, but the only A I'd give is for effort.

Loved this game. It's like the clock mechanic of Majora's Mask incorporated into a small story-focused RPG, which is a great idea and utilized very well. Really charming stories and characters. Genuinely funny and clever writing. Beautiful music. A lot of fun to explore, interact with the environment/NPCs, and of course, collect bottles. I wish there were more characters in video games Broccoli Girl. The quicktime events weren't my favorite thing, but they were used so sparingly and I was very invested in getting the best possible dialogue from them.
