Really enjoying the journey this game is taking me on.

This looked an felt really interesting but the first job of a 'point and click' adventure maker is to make software that 'points and clicks'. The input (mouse) was buggy from the start and when I had to do careful pointing and clicking (mini-game | no spoilers) it became unplayable. I gave up after about 15 attempts. Very hacked off to (a) be missing out, and (b) have paid good money for an unplayable game.

I didn't like it at all. It's obvious that all the effort went to the pixel art and sound and that's about it. The story was ok I guess, it is what it is but it isn't something I will remember like Disco Elysium for example. The gameplay is very poor, there are 3-4 hot spots per location and there are no puzzles that will make you feel that you are contributing to something. There are only some pointless mini games that add nothing to the game. In the end, I felt hollow and that this "game" was sucking my energy and I wanted to finish it fast. After this I will need to play 2-3 real adventure games in a row to be healthy again. The only good thing is that I read it for free (there's no way I will reward with money developers for making adventures without meat, and by meat I mean gameplay). So in my opinion avoid it like the plague. PS. All of these talented pixel artists should start hiring people who know how to create puzzles and don't skimp on money.
