A great Point 'n Click Adventure that definetly deserves more recognition.
It has his own sense of humor - special but entertaining and charming nontheless.
Is it a Classic PnC Adventure like Deponia, Day of the Tentacle or Edna/Harvey? By no means. But it is still worth a shot. The Humor is supposed to be obvious and the main Charakter is supposed to be unhelpful, so you are forced to combine things randomly to progress.

Solid game, I can't really say anything bad about it and it is probably the most underrated point and click games I have played. I have pretty much never seen it recommended or as part of top point and click lists. I randomly picked it up in a bundle with having never heard of it before.
It has a very Monkey Island style flow and has a lot of Monkey Island style humor. There is a bit of moon logic, but generally the puzzles are pretty fair. Most of the puzzles will click if you examine the item or talk to a specific character, but others you may have to brute force or look up a solution.
Voice acting, artwork, and animation are all very good. The voice acting especially is much better than I expected. I would say this is a must play and while maybe not in the top spot it would be in the in the top twenty for modern point and click games.

A game that seems to be inspired by Curse of Monkey Island, one of my favourite games. If you've never played it before you must, but also play Darkestville Castle because it's a fun game.

A decent point & click, definitely reminiscent of the Monkey Island games. Not without its flaws but I've definitely played worse. The voice acting is good, the characters are fun, the writing is okay (with some translation issues/typos), and the puzzles range from obvious to obtuse. I consulted a walkthrough several times, especially at the last chapter, because why would I ever think to do some of these things? Which is kind of nostalgic, I guess.
Anyway, decent game. Pick it up cheap.

Very good adventure game. There are many beautifully drawn locations and lovely characters to interact with. Cid the demon is congenial and funny - I had to laugh out loud many times. Kudos to Stephanos Rex, the voice actor. The puzzles are mostly fair and sometimes challenging. Playing time is ok, especially if you can get the game at a reduced price. Definitely recommended.

Very enjoyable game. Reminded me a lot of Monkey Island with game play, art work and music.
Some of the puzzles I didn't get instinctively, rationally or logically, I did have to look up a couple, and when I did them I didn't think it was something I would have thought of on my own. But that isn't a game fault, it made it extra challanging.
I LOL'd in a couple of places too, including one place I re did purely cause it was a good gag.
