Tensai Bakabon (The Genius Bakabon) is based on the manga and anime of the same name, a slice-of-life comic strip that has long since shifted its focus from the original main character, a dull-witted young boy , to the more attractive character of her rather crazy and stubborn dad. The game has sparse sequences where Papa can jump, shoot enemies, and fight with random NPCs, but the game is largely about exploring and talking to NPCs, like in any text/graphics adventure game.
