A slow burn

Pros: - The graphics hold up, even up to my 2018 standards. The backgrounds are pretty well done although the character models are not so great considering they aren't static. I think the backgrounds are the best quality of this game in certain areas. - Story is interesting. It is not done very well and the ending with the main character you're after doesn't end very well if you ask me but it is imaginitive. - The world is alright. I like the clockwork style of mechanisms but it becomes less special after the first act where the creators seem to have forgotten how to become inventive with their use of clockwork machines as puzzles. Cons: - The gameplay is extremely slow. As a point-and-click adventure, it's to be expected but this one is particularly slow considering the way your playable character turns and goes up steps incredibly slowly. Some particular actions I counted take her a full 10 seconds to complete and during each of these moments, you have no control and can only watch her complete her robotic actions. - The characters aren't great aside from the main character. - The puzzles are meandering. They're generally very easy until you hit a point where the progression halts because you didn't choose one of about 8 dialogue options in a notebook to talk about with a certain character. SPOILERS: (I talked to 3 different characters about berries I believe 6 or 7 times just to gain access to a garden. This probably took about 15 minutes thanks to the slug-like pace the main character takes to get across about 7-10 panels of static camera shots.) Conclusion: This game does not stand the test of time as a point-and-click adventure. I felt enjoyment and wonderment at first but the gameplay and not so great side characters who incessantly call you with B.S. to halt your movement truly suck all fun I had for the first 2-3 hours.

Mac version is a disgrace

I don't know about Windows version but on Mac screen is stretched and every item on screen and directions to go is marked with an icon which make it unplayable.

Won't start properly

Sadly, the game won't start properly on my setup (4k + 1080). It will switch the resolution on the secondary monitor to some smaller one but will draw a black rectangle with nothing in it on the main one. There is completely nothing inside the black rectangle. And nothing will convince it otherwise. I tried both GOG and Steam versions since I have both of them - and both behave the same. I'm not desperate enough to fight with this game just to make it run. Too many other games in queue to play.

Really disappointed.

After reading about this and seeing the first few screens I was really eager to play it. But I got so fed up with how much time I spent just moving the character around. What is the point of frames where you do nothing but walk through them?! The settings and textures are really beautiful, but after traversing them hundreds of times because the actions you're supposed to take to solve the puzzles aren't exactly logical, even the prettiness of the game wasn't enough to make me like it. The characters are all REALLY annoying, including Kate Walker. What is the point of all the annoying cell phone calls we have to sit through? There could've been a less insipid way of getting across that her life at home wasn't going so well. I also thought a lot of the characters in the game were based on someone offensive stereotypes. Like the "gypsy" characters who speak gibberish and are money-grubbers. I was surprised when the game ended. In the last level I thought it was finally getting a little less insipid and a little more like a good adventure game, where the actions you should take become clear with a bit of thinking. I thought it was finally getting on a roll. Now I will have to buy and suffer through part 2 if I want to get some closure. This could've been so awesome. :-(

More interactive film than game

I want to love this game, I really really do. The storyline is refreshingly original, the characters are compelling, and Kate's development throughout the story is incredibly well done. I loved every bit of the plot. That said, as an adventure game, it falls flat. The puzzles aren't puzzles so much as fetch quests. Almost every problem boils down to "x is missing! go find it!". The only challenge lies in scouring each screen for items - the game tells you, each time, exactly what you need to find or do. There's very little lateral thinking involved. This is incredibly frustrating given the setting - you're on the trail of a mad toymaker, surely there should be some kind of fiendish mechanical puzzle to solve? - and left me with an overall feeling of wasted potential.
