Great puzzles, narrative lacks growth
While the puzzle design is overall solid and never too annoying or 'moon logic'-esque, the narrative of the game still leaves much to be desired. The plot is interesting, but there are many red herrings. Many plotpoints are unfocused or simply dropped after a while, leaving the overall story conclusion unsatisfactory. The tone has also shifted from the first game. While it works in some places, one of the strongest things the first game had going for it was that small town, Twin Peaks-esque dream atmosphere. This game lacks that charm, making it feel less like it's own unique identity the way the first game did. Lastly, the character of Kathy is improved over the first game, luckily. Although she still quips effortlesslywith her edgy, holier than thou attitude towards the world, she does so less egreciously and way less often. Still, in the end I suppose a certain character growth would have taken place in Kathy, a growth that was sorely needed. Yet, the ending cutscenes betray that I really don't think that is the case. Too bad. Overall, the game is quite enjoyable for what it is. You'll get a sense of accomplishment solving the puzzles as they tick just the right boxes and the game is compentently made and bug-free from what I gathered. Narrative-wise it started out very interesting but ultimately left a lot to be desired. I do hope the studio gets the chance to make a possible third game in the series, as I think they certainly have the talent to do so and to improve.
