This game is the sequel to "Dominique Pamplemousse in It's All Over Once the Fat Lady Sings." This game also takes about an hour to play through. This time around, two Dominique Pamplemousses (from the two different possible endings to the first game) encounter each other and set out to determine which one of them is actually the canonically "True End" Dominique Pamplemousse. I liked some parts of this game more than the original game, and some parts of it less, so it evened out to an average rating. One thing that I liked more was that there is not quite as much singing, so it didn't start to grate the way it did in the last game. The thing that I liked even better was that this game takes the weirdness of the prior and cranks it up to eleven. An apple dominatrix in the style of the Annoying Orange. A parody of a 90s pop star singing about pooping. Poking fun at online quizzes, first person shooters, moe anime girls, and twine games. It's magnificent in its absurdity. The part that I liked less was the ending, where the fourth wall comes down and the Dominique Pamplemousses interact with their creator, the game dev, to find out which one is the real one. Then the game ends with a tone shift and the dev gives an emotional personal speech. I guess I hoped that the ending would somehow address the biggest question I had, which is: why are the Dominiques trying so hard to force this canon/not-canon dichotomy on themselves? Like gender, "canonicity" doesn't have to be a binary. Despite my lukewarm feelings toward the ending I still recommend it for anyone who liked the first game, or who like games that do weird experimental stuff.
