Pros
- Looks great. Has realistic backgrounds (pre-rendered I'm guessing) with 3D cartoon-ish characters. Perhaps a nod to games like Grim Fandango. Maybe not to everyone's taste but I liked it.
- Good voice acting .
- Solid point and click puzzle design, very satisfying. Right level of difficultly IMHO. The game flows along nicely.
- Great UI, very minimalist.
- Great controls, entirely playable with the mouse.
- Modern built in convenience features such as fast travel, hot spot reveal tool and removing items from your inventory when they are no longer useful.
- Decent story, quite engaging.
- Pleasant soundtrack.
- Multiple save slots.
Cons
- Its quite short. I left the game running so my time is overstated.
- Although I liked the story over all I thought some parts of the ending were a bit silly. The dad has been just living in a cave eating mushrooms for 10 years!
- While the voice acting was good, arguably the English translation could have been better; some of the script was weirdly stilted.
- As far as I know there is no auto-save, could be wrong on that.
Overall it was very polished and enjoyable. Recommended!

A delightful point-and-click adventure game made by people that clearly love the classic adventure games.
You play as Willy, a teenage kid whose archeologist father disappeared without a trace years earlier. One day you receive a letter from your missing dad dated just before his disappearence. And the game sets off from there.
This is the first adventure game by the developers but quaility wise you can't tell it. Good story, good controls, nice setting, pretty graphics, good audio and voice acting. You can explore Bone Town pretty much as you want to and the puzzles make sense. Didn't notice any bugs and nothing game breaking at all.
Thought I'd missed something and broken the game a few times, turned out I simply hadn't explored the new areas properly.
I would have loved if the game had been a bit longer. I finished it in 5 hours. But the other qualities are more important.
The epilogue hints of a sequel and I definitely hope we will see more adventure games from this team.

It's a very nice game. It features one of the best visuals I have ever witnessed in a modern adventure game. The plot is very pleasant to discover, puzzles are simple but fun to solve, characters are great, sound acting - solid. The game reeks of quality. Strong recommendation.
