The premise centers on rescuing the player's dogs from the villain Glorkon, who uses them to fuel universe-destroying power; the player directs the alien Trover through platforming, combat, and puzzles while enduring constant profanity, sexual references, feces-throwing gags, AIDS jokes, and morally questionable choices. No romance systems, gender-agnostic dating, nonbinary or trans characters, pronoun customization, or identity-focused subplots exist.

Thematic centrality of any social messaging is zero, as the game prioritizes offensive bodily humor over any commentary on norms or oppression. Developer Squanch Games, led by Justin Roiland, centered development on improvisational edgy comedy without DEI statements, consultancy involvement, or attempts to inject identity politics. Casting and character design feature species and figures that carry no forced diversity framing. Audience reception highlights the unapologetic humor with no woke-related backlash or Metacritic gaps tied to messaging, confirming the complete absence of such elements across the experience.
