Ena BBQ

The world of ENA: Dream BBQ, created by animator Joel Guerra (Joel G), resembles a surreal, psychedelic fever dream, recreating the atmosphere of the internet and video games of the late 90s and early 2000s. It's a mix of low-poly 3D graphics, pixel art, vibrant acid colors, and abstract shapes.
The game's houses, streets, and surroundings defy conventional logic and architecture.

In the game ENA: Dream BBQ, the word "Toilet" (The Bathroom) is not just a household object, but a major linguistic meme, a fully-fledged surreal location, and a key plot element of the first chapter.

1. Tongue Curse: Genie vs. Toilet

The game's most amusing detail revolves around the substitution of concepts. All the inhabitants of the world are trying to find the Genie, who grants wishes. However, there's a glitch in the game code, or in Ena's perception itself: every time Ena tries to say the word "Genie," her speech is distorted by static, and she's forced to say the word "TOILET."
Cat Kane and the other characters are genuinely puzzled by why Ena insists on calling the great wish-granting 'toilet,' which leads to the absurd dialogue: 'I'm looking for a toilet... I mean, a genie!'

2. Location “The Bathroom”.
   Entrance: Ena enters the area in "The Core." She must cross the river of light (via a bridge of living planks or rafts) and reach a lone portable toilet stall, which sucks the player inside.
   Interior: The first room is white-tiled, with a mirror, sinks, and green stalls. But instead of toilets, there are ordinary blue toilet seats behind the doors, and toxic green smoke billows from the pipes. A staircase leads down through the locker room directly to a shower room with a deep well.

3. The deity from the well - Theodora

The very same "Genie" that everyone was looking for actually lives at the bottom of the well in the shower room of this Toilet.
• This is a powerful Greek-speaking being, inspired by ancient vases and nesting dolls. A "purification of sins" takes place in the Toilet. Theodora begins the ritual of Ena's ascension, but, realizing in time who she is dealing with, abruptly stops the process (after all, she, like many others, dislikes Ena). Nevertheless, for her bravery, Theodora agrees to grant one wish and sends Ena to destroy the smoke machine.

Kane is one of the most memorable interactive NPCs in the game's main hub.
• Who he is: A cat-like creature with a body made of flying Japanese koban coins and a turquoise T-shirt with the character 金 ("gold"/"money") on it. His head is like a white sack with cat ears.
• Features: When first encountered, he is locked inside a piggy bank. When a meteorite falls, the piggy bank breaks, and Kane appears before the player. He speaks Russian (in the original, he was voiced by Lucy Kozitsyna).
• Funny detail: If you talk to him three more times after meeting him, a second meteorite will fly from the sky and smash the poor guy into a pile of lifeless coins until you restart the game.

The boss is the main mystery and the final goal of the entire game.
• Role in the plot: Ena makes her way through surreal worlds and the Lonely Door specifically to find him. According to Froggy, Ena's goal is to "aim straight for his belly."
Character Secret: In the game, this name has become a running gag. Many eccentric characters (including Kane the cat) declare upon meeting him, "I'm the Boss!" However, the receptionist at the casino claims that the real Boss "hasn't even been born yet," and lives somewhere on a distant island beyond the bloody lake.

Many characters act as merchants or simply stand around the locations, sharing strange lines:
• Bus: A huge living vehicle from the Uncanny Streets.

• Hoarder Alex: A character with Italian roots who collects all sorts of junk.
• Taxi Driver: A crazy driver whose look combines the aesthetics of old shooters like Doom with the style of Socio.

• Coral Glasses: A sweaty businesswoman with coral glasses who speaks exclusively in Korean. Her appearance is partially based on Kanamori Sayaka from the anime "Hands Off the Film Club!"
• Taski Maiden: An elegant character whose clothing texture is inspired by ancient Peruvian Chimu textiles.

• Nonkey Jong: A monkey from the Lost Village.
• Dahlia: A character in the form of a mannequin head.
• Bunraku-man: A reference to the traditional Japanese puppet theater Bunraku.
• Shoryo: A "cucumber horse"-shaped creature (a traditional offering for the Japanese Obon festival).

Froggy is Ena's main companion (deuteragonist) in this part of the game, taking the place of Mooney from the original web series.
• Who he is: A loud, overly confident, and arrogant character in a black frog suit with large, bulging eyes. His face is done in the traditional Japanese art style of ukiyo-e. • Traits: Speaks exclusively in Japanese. He coordinates Ena, constantly reminding her that their main goal is to get to the Boss.
• Inspiration: The character is based on Gonta from the cult Japanese educational children's show Dekirukana.

• Watchers: Six-eyed creatures resembling Peculiar Children, their design harks back to the creepy elements of classic animation.

Walkers: Background characters inspired by Japanese samurai and traditional woodblock prints.

Walkers / Suspicious People: Abstract geometric shapes and distorted silhouettes flicker in the background.

Mannequins and Walking Pants: Set decorations that highlight the absurdity and emptiness of some rooms.

Amoeba Guys: Protozoans with funny faces that float in the air or crawl on surfaces.

Tiny People: Small people that can be seen in the corners of areas or under the feet of larger game creatures.

The red side (left) represents a male face and voice. The character is calm, businesslike, and intellectual.
The white side (right) is hot-tempered, says everything to her face, and doesn't hold back her emotions. Her voice is feminine, as is her face.
Ena can change her "faces" whenever she wants.

Ena absolutely adores turron and eats it constantly. She spends money buying it at any cost.

Ena's red side, which is her "salesman" side, has a more cheerful expression, much like Ena's yellow side from the show. She speaks much more often from her red side, which may indicate that this is her "primary" side, much like how Ena in the show primarily speaks from her yellow side. This side tends to offer "profitable" deals.
Her pale half, the "bad" side, appears serious, loud, hot-tempered, and uncultured. She is often depicted with a slight frown or neutral expression, contrasting with her smiling red side.

Ena (sometimes referred to as ƎNA) is a main character from the game Dream BBQ, alongside Froggy.
Ena is a feminine humanoid with the unique characteristic of having a body that is divided into two halves: a pale side and a red side, with the pale side being composed of a pale blue side and a pale yellow side.
Ena's white side is geometric, while her left side is rounded. Her body, right arm, and leg have distinct polygons, while her left limbs are angular. Ena wears bangs on one side of her face and a long, asymmetrical bob. On the white, polygonal side, her hair is parted slightly, while on the red side, her bob is more angular.

Her eyes are triangular in shape, and there's an eyelash at the bottom of her right eye. However, Ena can open her eyes completely, which removes their asymmetrical appearance. Her right hand is polygonal, but unlike Ena in the series, it has pointed fingers resembling claws. Her left palm is shaped like a mitten.

Her outfit consists of a light pink T-shirt with a red and pink striped collar and suspenders. She wears dark green shorts and a cap of the same color, reminiscent of a student's cap, adorned with a dark blue ribbon and a silver emblem. Ena wears a stocking on her right foot and a sock on her left, both an even darker shade of green.
Ena can dramatically change shape. Usually, Ena's shape-shifting behavior lasts only a few seconds. When she says "toilet" inside a lonely door, Ena briefly resembles a clay figurine resembling a statue of Theodora. Upon meeting her, Ena transforms into the figurine and gains two pairs of wings.

ENA'S HEIGHT: 125 cm.
