Pleasent but a Lacking Subtance
A serviceable and pleasant-enough game but short and more shallow than it seems. After a tutorial and some initial low-pressure series of puzzles the plot finally becomes more tense only to end shortly afterwards. The final screen of the game looks like a puzzle set-piece only to skip over it entirely in a cut-scene, making it seem unfinished. The ambiguous supernatural angle of the plot is also under-developed. There are frequent dialogue choices, but none of them matter; it’s rare for a choice to even cause a single sentence difference in response compared to the other options. The choice of profession in the beginning of the game only affects a single puzzle which has a different solution for each of the professions. It does not affect the character’s outlook or behavior at all and adds virtually nothing to the atmosphere or personality of the game. You may or may not find changing the character’s clothing and hair to be amusing, but it is also another shallow distraction with no real effect on the game. Milda can be made to look neat and professional or like a sloppy teenager but her behavior and the way other people react to her remain the same. Outside of a tutorial puzzle there is also no need to ever do it again, although being able to change the bland default appearance is a plus. Character interactions are strangely soft and mild with almost no antagonism even when it would make a scene funnier or increase a sense of overcoming an obstacle. The worst you encounter is a rude librarian (who will still fetch books for you) until real villains enter the game shortly before it ends. All these agreeable and helpful people make character interaction bland. There are no memorable characters and very little memorable dialogue. The game is not annoying but it is not very memorable or substantial.
