the nicest word I could muster: meh
I was searching for some funny, even if average, adventure game to lift up my spirits. Reading description of the series and seeing the ratings I decided to give this a try. It made my depression worse. Programming-wise, it seems okay even though there are some technical peculiarities like the absence of volume settings (so you cannot turn music volume down/up, only on/off). I actually quite like the graphic style. The music is not bad but doesn't feel connected to the style of the rest and is openly derivative. I did not detect any humour, probably a cultural thing. Voice acting is uninspired but not outright annoying like in e.g. Broken Sword, which is a classic despite that. Story is just uninteresting. Puzzles are easy save for the damned pixel hunting combined with horrible cursor behavior, puzzles are more about pixel hunting than thinking about what you should use and where. The dialogues, sorry, monologues, look like a bad translation from Spanish combined with cliche lines from old movies and some street lingo the writer decided to put in just to impress us with his English. In dialogues, you don't really have a choice in what the character says, you just click on every option until there are no more left. The screenplay is just bad, the character motivations may be logical but how they are explained is not. I felt like I was being force-fed endless cutscenes that the authors created to eliminate at least some of the non-sequitur that resulted from often arbitrary change of scenes. If someone asks me a week from now if I played it, I will not remember. I am absolutely sure of that. It's not even bad enough to be memorable and I bought for the price of two beers (beer is cheap here). I already forgot the title. Whatever.
