There is hope, however, right there in the title: Baobabs Mausoleum is an episodic game, and while the first episode is aimless for the majority of the couple of hours it takes to get through it, the cliffhanger ending introduces actual stakes. Should future episodes take the time needed to flesh out the characters and give us the chance to explore Flamingo’s Creek, the potential shown in the game’s trailer might be realized.

- 6.0Baobabs Mausoleum Volume 1: Ovnifagos Don't Eat Flamingos is a very strange game, both boosted and busted by its own quirkiness. It's got some definite faults in its grab-bag of gameplay styles and settings, but there's still a macabre charm hiding underneath all of the jank that goes along with so seemingly-unclear of a vision.
- At the end of the day, Baobabs Mausoleum is an odd trip down memory lane. It contains elements of classic titles presented in a way that makes sense within the genre. It is currently $5.99 USD in the Nintendo eShop. If you are looking for a goofy couple of hours of gameplay, it is hard to find anything like it. Now if you will excuse me, I am going to take my temperature to make sure that this wasnât all a hallucination. Note: Our copy was reviewed on Nintendo Switch with a code provided by PR. COMPARE TO: Day of the Tentacle, The Legend of Zelda, Earthbound
- Baobabs Mausoleum Episode 1: Ovnifagos Don’t Eat Flamingos tries so hard to emulate its influences but misconstrues the difference between inspiration and imitation. Had it toned down the references might’ve been a more original game, maybe even an interesting one.
- 7.6Otra buena manera de adentrarse en las psicodélicas aventuras de Watracio Walpurgis. Una versión realmente fluída de un título episódico que gana a medida que se suman sus siguientes partes, porque un sólo capítulo sigue sabiendo a poco. En versión portátil es la mejor manera de jugar a este título.
- 7.0Cumple con las expectativas de lo que es un buen juego, tiene calidad y no presenta fallos graves, aunque le faltan elementos que podrían haberlo llevado a cotas más altas.
