TLDR: Good initial world building, but not fun to play. 3/5
The starting premise is pretty good. Basically you're taken to a far away hidden place where women rule and are genetically altered to be stronger than men.
It tries to be scary and funny at the same time? There is gore, grape and mutilation. Fart jokes, fat joke, jokes about the incompetency of men. For me this combination doesn't work.
Anyway, there is just enough writing and exposition for a little immersion. The story and writing have to carry this game, because it isn't the graphics or the game play. The game play is tedious, you just have to try the (boss) combat several times and hope you get it. The graphics look like straight out of the early 2000s. Surprisingly there are no animations other than 2 images that move back and forth.
It also doesn't really skip text or save very conveniently. Sometimes it won't allow you to save and if you die or make a mistake. You'll still have to click through a 2 minute defeat dialog before going to main menu and loading back in.
I can imagine the dev put in a lot of work. I also can see how some might enjoy the story enough to give it a high rating. How ever i think 4.5 is highly overrated.
I actually contemplate giving this a 2/5 but given the effort by the dev I'll leave it at 3/5.
