wow, was suprised how good it was. If you like point and clicks , you should check this one out. The looks can be a bit dated making completing certain puzzles a bit more challenging than they already are. It’s optimized great! Played on SteamDeck LCD. I would rate it a 5 out of 5 .
A cult classic, with insanity inducing dialogue, visuals and characters, getting crazier and crazier with an interesting background plot that reveals slowly and satisfyingly. This Steam version is pretty stable. I had only one crash, but its age still shows... the clunky mechanics, clicks misregistering or characters moving in weird poses that make interacting with them impossible until they move again... It was still a joy to replay this after so many years.
