This game's presentation is great. It's a beautiful 2D-rendered pixel game which evokes feelings associated with games of old, such as LucasArts and Sierra games. Unfortunately, that's where the comparison ends. The story isn't very immersive nor interesting. The game has a hard time keeping you emotionally invested; the mediocre writing and unlikeable protagonist are mostly to blame. The biggest disappointment is the logic associated with the game's puzzles. This game unfortunately falls into the "try every object in your inventory against any actional items in the game world" trope and it gets frustrating quickly. Most of the puzzles are illogical as they are not conducive to the character's intentions and actions. Sometimes you have to attentively listen to a conversation. Other times you can tell that these puzzles would make sense from the POV of the developing team but are nonsensical from the POV of an actual player. Ultimately, I was not able to solve this game without the use of a guide. If you have some extra funds in your pockets and are dying to play a point-and-click adventure game, I wouldn't recommend against it but if you're on a tight budget, do yourself a favor and grab one of the classics instead of this game.
