An adventure game that has aged even better with time. I played this in 2026 and themes like pandemics, conspiracies and a couple characters on both sides of the political aisles are depicted, without feeling exclusionary nor awkward in retrospect. Besides that it has a charming artstyle, very witty and funny characters and some of the greatest puzzles in these games, that both requires you to think, but you will very rarely need to look up a solution, a very hard balance to strike. A great game, that could stand toe to toe with the greats, if it was released in a time, where people appreciated this genre.

I finished the game in around 15 hours with minimal cheats/hints so it's on the shorter side as far as this type of game goes... Just as I felt we were reaching the final chapter, the game ended which left a tiny bit of disappointment but that's my subjective opinion and it's an excellent game none the less. The hand-drawn art is really nice and makes a welcome change from the retro pixel art which pretty much every point and click adventure game uses nowadays. The game feels very 'Monkey Island' to me in the art and general gameplay style and that's a good thing. Before this, I came off the back of finishing Thimbleweed Park and Unavowed, and while I enjoyed those games more (especially Thimbleweed, which is a GOAT game in this genre for me), this definitely held its own as a really solid game in this genre. My pet hate with this genre of games are puzzles and item actions which make absolutely no sense and you would never work out without hints... But this game had a minimal number of those. Most problems and puzzles made sense and were achievable with a bit of common sense, lateral thinking and closely paying attention... Which is how it should be. Overall, highly recommended and if you're a fan of point and click games this should be on your 'must play' list.

A lot of the negative reviews are what I would say for most point and click games, but not this one. I always have to look up a lot of stuff with point and click games because all the connections are always arbitrary or make no sense or I would never think of solving something that specific way the devs make you and always you just have to go back and forth over and over again to the same places. But not with this game, I found most of the puzzles made sense, there was minimal wandering and having to go back and forth. Still looked some stuff up (stupid harbor computer!!), but it turned out I was always going in the right direction and just needed an extra clue a handful of times. I think the negative reviews are too harsh, or people haven't played other point and clicks. This is another example of Steam needing a proper star rating or at least having a middle thumb. I love the art direction, it's what made me get this game in the first place. I was also intrigued by the story in the trailer and it didn't dissapoint me the entire time I played. There are a lot of optimization issues like load screens taking a long time or being black for a while, or loading the main tool takes a second, or the zoom in when characters talk to each other has low res art. The low res bothered me the most, but at the same time....It's a studios first game and I've seen worse by bigger studios. The animation was obviously done by non-animators, the walk cycles are laughable. But honestly, even as an artist and animator myself, this didn't bother me too much since the animation is minimal and I liked so many other things about this game. I think this game was genuinely good. I liked the story and the art and the dialogue and the voice acting, it truly drew me in! Probably one of the best point and click games I've played in a long time.

This game has some of the most well-written dialogue I've seen. It's very naturally funny without trying too hard, and the voice acting on it is spot on, especially from the main character.

I enjoyed playing this game! Funky little art style that complemented the humor. Lovely musical score that did so much heavy lifting in setting the correct mood. Would have loved to go maybe one layer deeper with all the NPCs -- they felt like they were there to serve their purpose and that's it. With the story line being what it is, I felt it was a missed opportunity to use some of that great dialogue to support the impact of the conspiracy bubbling beneath the surface. Especially in the initial area, Yelltown -- I wanted my heart to break during the Act 1 reveal, but we didn't develop enough of a connection with the NPCs for that to happen. I felt bad for them, but there was room to make me feel devastated. The ending felt a little rushed, but I think you stuck the landing (albeit with a little wobble). Fun puzzles and I only got stuck twice, because I didn't realize you could examine/comment on object in the inventory (there are a couple areas where this locks you from moving forward until you get Harper to look at the item and say what he needs to say about it, even if it's obvious where to use it next). All in all, I really liked this game. And it was oddly prescient considering the year it was released. Definitely recommend.
