If you are looking for an enjoyable adventure game with no weaknesses, but also without any outstanding qualities, then this is worth your time and money. Most puzzles are straightforward, with only a few having either enough complexity, or a lack of common sense logic, to slow down your progress. Background art is gorgeous and character animation is excellent. Character face design is basic though. You can't go wrong with this game, but it is still understandable why it didn't become a celebrated game in adventure game history.
I cannot recommend this unique game enough. A walk-through by your side is advisable though (even if just to reassure yourself that you haven't missed anything critically important) and there are several excellent freely available guides online. The complexity and the nature of key timing in this game may seem intimidating at first, but the game's mechanic of being able to rewind time results in the player being able to recover from any mistakes or oversights, as well as being able to narrow down what they need to do and exactly when. Lots of re-playability value (to catch the full flavor of events and characters, even non-critical ones), excellent music (even an in-game concert), a beautiful graphics style (that you quickly adjust to), top-class voice acting and the most immerse game-play I've had the great pleasure to encounter in an adventure game. This has become one of my most cherished gaming experiences and one I will play many times again.
I'd never even heard of this game before. I took a chance and was rewarded with a gorgeously presented and very engaging point and click adventure. Writing and visual design are strong, as is the voice acting. There are a couple of very tricky puzzles and the game's wacky humor requires some creative thinking at times. I will definitely be replaying this game in the future.
