Compelling, with some flaws
This is a quite intriguing adventure game. It has aspects to it that will draw you in for sure, but some of the flaws are hard to look past. Some of the good points: 1) The artwork, while seemingly simplistic, fits the story well in my opinion, with a harsh angularity that matches the world, while the overall bleak landscape is well-rendered; 2) The music is a bit in the progressive rock mold and is performed by Kovalski, of which some of the dev team are members, and also captures the mood well; 3) The story is intriguing, and fleshed out pretty well. Some people feel the ending is too much of a cliffhanger (and it is true that this is technically the first episode in a promised series), but there is reasonable closure up to that point, with most of the loose ends tied up; 4) This being an adventure game, the puzzles are decent and mostly not too illogical. On the not so good side: 1) Oh boy, the voice acting in places leaves a lot to be desired. The main character is pretty decent (to be fair, opinions differ), but other characters feel like they are reading the script for the first time, or they bring no heart to the job. At times, the editing makes the delivery careen from highly emotional one minute, to neutral or ironic the next; 2) Though as stated above the puzzles are on the whole fair, there are some bits where traversing from one scene to another is required even though it doesn't have a whole lot of logic to it, and some of the puzzles stretch credulity a little. 3) The time-morphing sequences are ridiculously repetitive. You will use the Esc key a LOT to get past them; 4) The aforementioned "cliffhanger" at the end (will a sequel really come out? Who knows...). Despite it's shortcomings, this is a good game overall, I think. Well worth experiencing.
