Very Good and Extremly Nerdy
I have not finished this game yet but after playing for a few hours I like it very much. It is an unusual combination of point-and-click adventure and micro-management game. As earlier reviews have pointed out, at first the management of resources (sleep, food, health, warmth, sanity, several categories of knowledge, and time) is quite difficult. This is because not all ways to keep your character at the necessary levels is apparent immediately. My suggestion is to experiment a bit and then start a new game for a more enjoyable experience. Of course, some difficulty will remain - no fun without a little challenge. The struggle of a poor student in pre-computer times is simulated yery accurately: Should you study to do well on exams, do odd jobs because you are seriously short on money - or just get a good night of sleep? And, of course, it would not be a Lovecraftian game without the omnipresent, ever encroaching manifestations of Cosmic Horror putting a strain on the protagonist's sanity. If you like the literary tradition in the wake of Edgar Allan Poe and Howard P. Lovecraft and if you have spent time studying at a university, this game is definitely for you. I myself do a lot of creative work and studying of math and computer science in my free time. It is somewhat weird that after another evening-session of studying, writing, and coding, at my desk I turn to this game for relaxation - only to play a character who sits at a desk studying math and occult tomes. It hardly gets more nerdy than this.
