Detailed Analysis

Under What? is a 5-11 minute free interactive comic/visual novel released in 2019 by solo developer Dan Gartman.

Its premise centers on an old fisherman who falls into the sea and engages in light philosophical banter and bad jokes with an anthropomorphic fish character. The story explicitly avoids dragons, good-vs-evil battles, or any heavy narrative tropes, focusing instead on whimsical dialogue choices in a linear, single-ending format with no romance, sexual content, or hero arcs.

Traditional whimsical storytelling drives the experience without identity politics, romance systems, or social commentary of any kind. The developer description explicitly rejects boring nonsense in favor of bad jokes and extraordinary characters, resulting in no character customization, pronoun options, LGBTQ+ portrayal, or DEI-related elements in plot, mechanics, or marketing. This keeps the focus squarely on light-hearted, non-ideological content that prioritizes entertainment over messaging.

Key Factors

  • Traditional whimsical storytelling with no identity politics, romance systems, or social commentary
  • Explicit developer description rejects 'boring nonsense' in favor of bad jokes and extraordinary characters
  • No character customization, pronoun options, LGBTQ+ portrayal, or DEI-related elements in plot, mechanics, or marketing

Methodology: Each score synthesizes audience discourse, critic and aggregator reception, and press coverage — weighed against the work itself, not any single source.
