Well, I am not into adventures. I am green and enthuisiastic in that sense. What drew me into Gibbous were: Kitteh, Lovecraft and amazing drawing. Now for art, I have not a single bad thing to tell. I would speed up certain animation for certain but that could be thrown at the programmer. Otherwise it's great and judging voice actors' work (not dialogues but overall execution) it's very neat and superb at times (yes the tourist shop representant is one of those memorable voices). For gameplay and technical execution it's really good. Not that made-by-one-programmer good, it simply is. I even thought there's like handful people behind it. I would really speed up animations, I cannot stress that enough. For a game this beatiful lip sync was primitive even and sometimes out of rhythm, but I was able to phase that out. Now the puzzle, story and dialogues. Puzzles were fine, really. I've searched the internet only twice, simply because missing a clue, which is great! I am normally glued to walkthroughs in these kind of games. Sometimes I got really nice voice clues. I like dialogues. Other reviewers point out that of them are really bad or forced. I liked them all. Now the story! I will regard only the bad part, which is, suffice to say the third act all the way to the ending. I am pretty much convinced the script author was creating some aspects of the story on the fly, which is ok (there's no end to Work, hehe), but he probably didn't have the time to get back and implement the changes into first and second act. Dialogues were already voiced etc. I can imagine that. The result though is confusing and many reviewers are regarding that simply as "unsatisfying ending". I agree. There were too many loose ends and so on. I personally hate the katarsis of the story (pardon my English), it made my emotional release during ending totally off. That's not how you handle katarsis, no no no. 7/10, and two points taken are for messy third act and its, at times, frustrating pacing.
