Great game! Very highly recommended, especially if you enjoy fantasy/human world type HOPA games.
Pros:
- nice art
- very good HO scenes; right amount
- collectibles (fun ones)
- nice amount of puzzles; choice of match 3
- choice of easy or hard for puzzles (I appreciated that!)
- fully customizable difficulty (example, turn off skip, but have available actions on map)
- enjoyable fantasy/human world!
- excellent bonus chapter!
Cons:
- the "use it once and throw it away" annoyance (I rationalize it, but wish game would XD
- the villain is very 2D but hey, it's a HOPA, not a VN
This is a nice, well put together HOPA; just wish I had the first two in the series!
I would buy it on sale, just because they tend to go on sale, or be in bundles; but the price tag is good compared to many newer "premium publisher" games ;)
