i definitely really liked the game, the puzzles, the voice acting, the paranormal stuff.. not so much the "comedic“ dialogue sometimes, but i can look past it. what i sadly didn’t like at all is the ending. it was the most disappointing, nonsensical thing one could think of: 1. main game: harvey experiences a massive supernatural adventure. 2. twist: "haha, that was just a made-up story." 3. epilogue: now we see the *real*, evil harvey. 4. but: the "real" harvey is a puppet manipulated by a puppeteer on a stage. 5. so, this harvey too, is obviously a depiction - a fiction - within a performance. 6. and if this layer is also a story: who wrote it? 7. if the answer is "puppet-harvey": why can a puppet write stories? 8. and if it can: why is it writing this story in the first place? 9. and if the stage is meant to represent "reality": then who is the puppeteer? so the problem isn't just that the ending is "unclear". the proposed interpretation actively creates new logical problems. besides that, i’d still recommend it to point & click enthusiasts, as i very much enjoyed playing it and had fun for the vast majority of the time.

I fully understand that a meta ending is a huge part of the point and click genre, and yet every time I am disappointed that a game like this choses a meta ending over a natural story based one. I want to be clear, I really did enjoy this. I didn't find this game hard in the slightest, but it made up for that with a really compelling story (for the most part), great visuals, voice acting and humour. There was so much mystery. An ancient civilisation that worships the planets, shadow creatures that are causing you to lose your free will, murders that you are connected to and with each one you know that you are the last one that needs to die. Really interesting stuff. It just felt like the ending was more of a cop out for what could've been a really brilliant story. You will probably love this, and since steam doesn't allow any sort of mixed review rating I will recommend it. just go into it with your expectations a little lowered.

An absolute amazing Point and Click Adventure. The story is good, the art style is good, the voice acting is also top notch. The puzzles make sense and aren't obtuse. Must play.

This game is phenomenal. The puzzles are fun, the voice acting is great, the jokes land perfectly and the story is engaging. The art and controls work seamlessly to tell the story of this spooky seaside town. Many players are complaining about the final plot twist, to which they're entitled to, but as an old point & click player and avid reader I can tell you without spoilers that the story is great and brilliantly executed. If this was an open ended story it could easily become the next Monkey Island (albeit less pop references).

It's not a bad game, but I agree the ending is a little bit of a let down...
