The Phantom Fellows blends classic adventure game mechanics with modern storytelling in a really cool way. As a seasoned point-and-click player, I was immediately drawn to this approach; it was so familiar and yet also a fresh take. The game's intuitive controls, both mouse based and keyboard friendly, cater to traditional and modern players alike. This game is funny, really really funny. The dialogue had me laughing constantly. The banter is just so good, there is just so much flow. I was so into the game when I was playing, it was super immersive. I was able to travel back to previous days in the game on a map (which I love) and it added this whole other layer to the game and it made me want to explore. There are lots of different ways to do things. I noticed that there were lines of speech or even puzzle solutions that I missed on the first playthrough so I had to go back through and play it again right away! Kind of surprised but even though it's a funny game it would at times be poignant or thought-provoking or even take me down the road of psychology or history. The relationship between the main characters is super complex and I'd really like to see more development in the relationship between the two of them, hopefully in future Phantom Fellows games.
