Gorgeous but otherwise average
The graphics are very nice and the story is enjoyable. The puzzles, though, are on the mediocre side. They're set up so that you have to solve them in sequence. So, if you're stuck in a puzzle, you're stuck in the entire game. Also, while you can skip animations when moving from a location to the other, you can't do that while interacting with objects. And characters walk veeery slowly in this game. Still about the puzzles, many times you're almost there and the character keep saying it's nonsense, then you make one tiny step and everything makes sense to them as well. Some minimal clue on that regard would have improved the playability a lot. Finally, you surely can't speak of pixel hunting here, but many times you're stuck just because you didn't pick up a random object. There is no highlight of interactable objects (the name appears, but it's not that noticeable and the bounding box are often of "questionable" size) and, being the graphics a mere scale of gray (which is nice for the aesthetics, not so much for the playability), you pass by many things because they don't look like you're supposed to do anything with them. In the end, it's undoubtably a nice game that (in my opinion, at last) markets itself as easy-to-pick but lacks many quality-of-life features to keep its promise. On the other hand, it's not a classic either, so things you would forgive to games like Gabriel Knight and such, here just add up to the frustration.
