There's no doubt that this game oozes character. I like how the characters leave an impression on you, especially how they are all united in their hatred of the protagonist. Because frankly, the main character deserves it. The ambiguity of the ending is also something you don't see many storytellers use these days. However... My main issue is with the gameplay. I'm not expecting much out of a point and click adventure, but the progression relies on massive leaps in logic. Like, how was is supposed to know that I have to combine a hook with a laughing gas-filled balloon? Genuine puzzles are few and far between. Otherwise, it's a load of frustration. I want to like this game. I really do. I was invested in its world, but as I kept playing it felt more like a chore. And a game shouldn't feel that way.
