This strange story never makes it quite clear where it is going. It is an average point and click, with beautiful graphics and quirky characters. The awkward animations do not diminish the charm of the silly adventure. Most puzzles have background information provided to help resolve, even though there will be a lot of back-tracking.

Nice relaxed charming humorous point and click adventure with good story, items to look for and put in the right place (press the spacebar to show interactable items/spots marked with a red x). The animations are funny and are a piece Art. The surroundings (chambers, environmemt) are a piece of Art as well! Sometimes, you have to trade items with a non-player-character. Have fun!

I love a good puzzle game. My 9yr old and I have been playing this together. At times we've found it a bit challenging and even needed some assistance. The artwork is lovely and the story is interesting.

Yes I will certainly recommend this game. Its good looking, funny dialogue, a little spaced out and not too hard. Just like I want it.

Recommended with reservations. Visually the game is a treat, the blend of CG and miniature work is terrific. The story is alright if a bit rushed. The puzzles are occasionally baffling. I learned in the last bit of the last chapter you can press 'space' to reveal clickable objects on screen and this definitely helped with some of the puzzlework where I was fairly confident I had the correct items to proceed but was just not using them in the correct part of the screen. I don't like that I had to borrow a lighter from the landlady when the main character has been smoking cigarettes for multiple scenes prior and past this. Like, I assumed he was gonna borrow a butane torch or something? But nah, just a second lighter.

Stunning visuals and atmosphere, but the story and puzzles are just meh

Just as I felt sadness when the Opportunity Rover on Mars sent its last message back to earth, I felt a pang of sorrow as an intelligent computer in this game met its fatal demise.
I assume I framed that in general enough terms for it not to be a spoiler.
I picked up this point and click game during a sale, and the story was engaging enough for me to want to discover the outcome of the adventure.
The graphics are actually quite nice, and from what I've read, they used physical dioramas as background. It's a change of scenery from the normal use of rendered polygons or sprites.
There are some plot twists, and several characters are quirky and/ or likeable.
Sometimes the game can get a little confusing, and you might have to restart it after a good night's sleep when you can have a fresh perspective, but all-in-all, it isn't too challenging.
A helpful hint system is in place, where you can press the space bar, on the PC, which shows red markers on every object or person you can interact with on your screen.
It certainly is a game I would recommend.
Even if you wander around aimlessly in this game a little, you will finish it in about seven or eight hours.
