Great game! Enjoyed it thoroughly! Loved the characters and the plot. The art style is awesome, and I really vibed with the lore and worldbuilding in general. The voice actors did an amazing job too! Personally, I found the puzzles weren't too hard but also not too easy. What I enjoyed most about the game is probably the soundtrack itself—it fit so well with the world and plot. Apart from a few visual glitches and lines where the voiceovers were not triggered, I didn't run into any issues. The only thing I found a little strange was that the ending felt a little rushed compared to the previous chapters. There are also a few loose ends that I wish they tied together, but overall this game has earned a soft spot in my heart! I highly recommend it. :)

This game is not that interesting, but if you're a fan of classic point and click adventure games like the Monkey Island series, then it's worth a playthrough. It's not super hard, but also probably not super friendly to newcomers of the genre (i.e., not like The Drifter, which was way too easy). The puzzles in this game are medium-level difficulty for an adventure game. I was never really stuck for very long. As far as adventure games go, the storyline is okay. The characters and VA are okay. The main character is so mid - you don't feel anything towards him. Also the dialogue is not funny. So being not funny + not interesting storyline and mid puzzles make for a super-mid game. I finished it b/c I love adventure games. And also maybe takes place in Canada (?), which is a plus in my books. The art and environments are pretty nice, easy on the eyes, but not necessarily amazing. The game is kinda janky, it lags a lot at times, especially after it's been running for a while. I feel like it's not optimized properly. It does not have cloud saves, which is annoying if you switch computers frequently. Luckily you can jump to chapters, so it's good enough to continue and/or achievement hunt. The achievements are okay, there are some missables, which require a bit of replay, but nothing crazy.

Decent point and click; I wasn't a fan of the art style but it works overall, and unlike many modern P&C games this is a proper inventory puzzle adventure, rather than just an endless set of dialog trees.

GAME: Solid and funny adventure title. Memorable characters, super cool artstyle, and nice atmospheric soundtrack. Story itself was only so-so for me personally (a little generic and predictable), but I did enjoy the different locations you go to and interactions. Puzzles were pretty fun to figure out, though I did have to consult a walkthrough a couple times. **ISSUES**: Unfortunately I also did encounter several bugs while playing (cursor issues, progression/cutscene not triggering) and the only solution I found was to switch to a different save file. Therefore I HIGHLY recommend creating many different saves in your playthrough. And if you play on an ultra-wide, you WILL need to switch the resolution to a regular 16:9 ratio (important aspects will get cut off in ultrawide). There are no resolution settings in-game, instead hold "alt" key while launching the game from steam, and that will bring up a popup to let you change the resolution.

I found Chapter 1 a bit slow and lots of going back and forth between places but after that the story and game really took off and became very engaging and enjoyable! I also thought the artwork was gorgeous!
