Billy lived a drab existence devoid of purpose or joy until the day a one-eyed dog lead him to a cult. He became a "friend" of the cult (the lowest rank) and was soon fully indoctrinated. This new perspective completely transformed his life. Everything made sense, like the world bursting into color from black and white.

With newfound purpose and brotherhood, Billy worked his way up the ranks in the cult until his promotion to "best friend". The game begins with Billy helping the other cultists prepare his advancement ceremony. Then, the grim specter of reality invades, represented by a literal leviathan draining the color from Billy's world. The elders are upset and begin to question Billy's dedication.

They decide to send him on a recruitment mission to prove his loyalty. He must gather three ingredients, er... orbs, and recruit several new "friends" on the way. Recruitment takes place on a special confrontation screen where you sweet talk potential recruits and play minigames to apply colored shapes (presumably hallucinogenic drugs, given the game's prismatic theming). Then, you deepen recruits' loyalty using gifts and "gummies", with each level unlocking another shape that recruit may use in a confrontation. Thus can Billy reaffirm his dedication to the cult and restore color to his world.

Overall, the game has cute art and animations. The dialog and characters are very wholesome, making this an easy recommendation for children or the young at heart. Older, more jaded gamers may find themselves creatively interpreting the game's saccharine presentation.
