Third time writing this, previous two long reviews erased by godawful buggy AppStore reviews design that not only erases everything if you switch screens in any way, but now also apparently times out without warning in around 15 minutes. So I’ll make it quick. This is an excellent modern point and click adventure game, faithful to the genre with smooth and current professional design. It deserves far better ratings and reviews than the nitpicking and petty dumping it’s gotten. If you want well written, clever, visually engaging, and generally high quality games in this financially disadvantaged niche market, then supporting this for a measly five bucks isn’t much to ask. Developers took all the risk upfront investing time, talent, treasure; prove it with a generous amount of free gameplay; and seek so little in return. At the very least, rate it in accordance with how apps are actually judged, and if you enjoyed it just give the five stars it has earned rather than needing to cut to 3-4 bc you found some petty flaw. Rate & review in consideration of the big picture in which support is merited and vital. Otherwise, expect few and soon no gems like this, as they drown in an endless sea of subscription fee clones. All the illusionary “free” games that lead people to think $5 is a crazy price are making money by data mining, ads, paywalls after you’re hooked, etc. It’s amazing that we still have any choices like this, please do what you can to preserve that.

This game is very similar to the point-and-click classic, and feels like a modern day prequel to, Grim Fandango (There are even a few Grim Fandango references hidden in the game). It is cute, funny, and fun. All of the puzzles make sense and so do all of the answers to the puzzles. It isn’t too easy, but it’s also not too hard and it keeps you drawn in, wanting to play more. Also, the voice overs, sounds, and music are some of the best I have come across in a game compared to other, similar point-and-clicks. The ONLY negative I have to say about this game is that it is WAY TOO EXPENSIVE. To charge $4.99 for a game that took less than 4 hours to complete is absolutely ridiculous. The game is way too short to even think about looking past that price. I could, maybe, see paying $1.99; just because, despite the short gameplay, the graphics, puzzles, and overall game design are really great, but $4.99 is an outrageous price for this game.

It was a good game but I can't say it was great, even though it was entertaining. Beware: it's a To be Continued game! I wish the developers had given me a heads up, so as a suggestion to buyers in the future maybe explain it's only part 1 or something like that. I have it 4 stars because it had great graphics, a good storyline, and the puzzles made sense & I love point & click adventures! You can get hints if you need them, but if you listen to what the characters in the game are saying they kind of 'hint you along'. & I only have it 4 stars because I thought it could be longer, maybe another hour at least.. and I had no idea I was close to the end because I didn't know it was a 'TBC'.. It definitely would affect my decision to buy, it could be another 4 years before we see a sequel..but even so the only thing I had an issue with was the voice narration, if someone was in trouble or happy you wouldn't know it, because the actors read the lines as they appeared on the screen. It was a little weird, some of the dialogue was being read as if they were asking questions , it threw any of the funny antic-dotes off. Thanks, hope to see more from you soon!
