The game's banner art on Steam. The game's logo is surrounded by art of (clockwise right to left) Bird Peter, Bat Peter, Wind Peter, Fire Peter, Elec Peter, Peter Shorts, Ice Peter, Alpaca Peter, Bug, and two Propellor Peters. Dr. Von Schnabel, the game's antagonist, watches on from the background.

Read on to the end for many peterrific puns, as well as:

A dotted page; a pen has been lifted from it. In the middle, the words, "Have I truly become a writer?" have been written.

If you read to the end, right now, within my lifetime, ‘cos I can’t be doing this for all eternity, you’ll get these three consternations for the price of one:
