Enjoyable and almost perfect
This game has a lot of heart and appears to take inspiration from Benoit Sokal's "Syberia", where a female protagonist travels to exotic locations with a witty robotic companion. There are only about 3 times when our choices matter, but they all appear to lead to the same ending. I am not complaining, though. It has a story to tell, and it does it well. Completed the game in 4h without rushing it. I felt immersed in the story, characters and locations - though I was a bit annoyed by the feminist undertone, reducing male characters to either fools or villains. Not sure why, but a couple of male characters had female voices in the English version. Except for the villains, basically all major characters are female. Voice acting was welcome and well done. Game art was beautiful with a retro sci-fi vibe. Character animation was a bit stiff, but it did the job, so it's fine. Puzzles were fun and straight forward, where some will require more thinking, making them satisfying when we finally solve them. I am rather neutral about the (repetitive) music, and I had some issues with voice volume being too low at times. Voice volume control is shared with ambient and SFX, and that was a problem to me. We can use the robot companion to solve puzzles or to provide hints. It can also reveal hot spots in the current scene, but that's behind a series of commands and dialogs before and after, which can be a bit annoying. We have to go through this every time we ask it for hot spots or hints. In most point and click games, that is usually just one key. The game itself is pretty linear, and I don't think we can die, but it manages to convey a sense of suspense and danger that compensates for it. All in all, it was well written, immersive and fun to play, though a bit on the short side. If you like point and click games, you should like this one. Recommended!
