A joy to play from start to finish. Reminiscent of Animal Crossing with the anthropomorphic animals, fishing mini-game, and treasure digging. There are a few nice stories scattered around like the painter trying to find the best spot for his painting to impress some art critics. Took me 3 hours 9 minutes to beat and I enjoyed every moment of it. I hope they come out with a sequel.
The puzzles are poorly thought out and require the classic adventure game moon logic. An example in the very early game: An AI requests you undergo assessment and you're only given the option to say no. As a result of saying no you have to engage in combat with a robot and this can be repeated endlessly. The solution? Hide from combat so the enemy activates a control panel when it can't find you and then go back to the AI and accept their offer. What?!? The game is strewn with events like this where you have to do seemingly arbitrary things to progress. No spoilers but one puzzle requires repairing an electrical box missing a wire and even though we're adjacent to a JUNKYARD FILLED WITH ROBOTS we instead have to trundle for the magical mcguffin that can repair the box.
It's worth buying on sale for the plot and general aesthetic but the "horror" is mostly jump scares. When it's not playing silly tricks, the horror element can be quite good.
