Decent story, slightly too easy
I'd probably feel better giving this 3.5 out of 5 but since I can't give half stars, I'll go 4 since there's nothing particularly wrong with the game. The story is yet another post-apocalypse tale wherein your protagonist and her friends live in squalor after bombs leveled their society, some of them too young to remember life before the bombs. On your quest to be granted a lottery ticket for a vaccine to the deadly sickness going around, you end up joining a resistance effort against the rich and the powerful who live lavishly and keep the poor under their thumb. The story's not one that'll have you misty at the end but it's enough to keep you wondering what comes next. The art direction is good, as to be expected from a WadgetEye release, nice, charming pixel art backgrounds and a lot of different areas to visit so it doesn't get too stale. There's a lot of brown and yellow due to the whole 'fallout' theme but the artwork itself is nice and detailed. The game's puzzles, for the most part, are pretty easy as I myself never reached one that kept me stumped for any significant amount of time. Nobody likes to be stuck for hours but that "ah-HA!" moment of a tough puzzle finally solved never quite came. The toughest one for me was probably the chalkboard puzzle toward the beginning of the game. Otherwise, it's usually pretty straightforward what you need to do or who you need to talk to in order to move forward. Voice acting ranges from generally good to a little corny but it's generally good enough to keep from detracting at any point in the game. Characters are likable enough though nobody exactly oozes charm. Like much of the rest of the game, they're fine. Just fine. Overall this is a serviceable point and click game. Not sure you'll remember it forever but it'll keep you busy for a few hours and won't leave you regretting the time spent, most likely.
