Too many issues
Critical objects needed for puzzles are not readily discerned against their backgrounds, and finding them is a pixel hunt. Scraping the screen is unpleasant. A pattern of this stuff makes timed puzzles unpleasant, and these timed puzzles were already so. Goals were unclear more often than not, and environmental hints were reliably disorganized. For a spoiler-free example, a scenario where an environmental hint said something like 'that won't get the smell in the other room' and that's how I figured out, since there hadn't been anything indicating a current smell, that I needed something with a smell AND whatever it was that would get the smell in the other room. Some objects seemed like they were supposed to provide important information or story or something and they just didn't. Solving puzzles rarely felt rewarding, just relieving that I could continue on to something else happening, so I pretty quickly moved to using a walkthrough anytime I wasn't sure of my current goal: it wasn't worth wandering around hoping I'd come across something. The pacing of puzzles vs story is bad, and the interface design is terrible -- make sure to look up the manual, which is not included in this version on GOG. To save, press F5. To load a save game, press F7. To bring up the inventory, move the cursor to the bottom of the screen, and then curse a whole lot at the presence of important hot spots at the bottom of the screen. To quit, press Alt + Q, or bring up the inventory, click the crossed tools button, click the red X button in this new menu, and when it asks if you want to quit, click the red X again, NOT the green arrow button that looks like a symbol for 'continue with the quitting thing'. Don't press escape, which sometimes causes the game to crash. Also, content warning for incest. The art is nice, the story has interesting things it is trying to do, and the puzzles are sometimes a little different. Nothing is particularly successful but it's not a disaster.
