As Beautiful as it is Frustrating
Make no mistake, this is an absolutely gorgeous game, full of character and style... as well as every frustrating element that all but completely destroyed the adventure game genre. The puzzles in this game go from "Cartoon Logic", to "Moon Logic", and straight into, "Screw logic and try everything in your inventory with everything else you can see until something eventually works and then look up a FAQ anyway because you still missed a crucial step". Early on in the game this is not such a problem, and the puzzles are challenging and strange, but ultimately workable with only some careful thought. A bit of the way in, however, all bets are off. Added to this frustration is how many of the puzzles will require you to endlessly criss-cross the town, which isn't so large, but you walk very, VERY slowly, and watching the protagonist very leisurely walk back and forth from location to location looking for that one item you might need gets old very quickly and seems to be there for no other reason than to needlessly pad the length of the game. If you're a hardcore fan of the genre and looking for a masochistic challenge, or don't mind printing out a walkthrough so as to have it constantly ready, then this game might be worth it, but even then, not for the regular price. For $20 there are far more rewarding games available on Gog, even within the genre that put more of their budget into well-balanced puzzles than just beautiful visuals.
