The ending froze during the credits, and achievements are bugged. Beyond that, the game is OK. It has charm but no wit. The puzzles aren't terrible, but also not clever. The plot is predictable.
A fun unconventional point & click adventure with surprisingly many layers. Traversing and backtracking felt a bit tedious, but I got used to it, as well as navigating the map. The achievements are a bit wonky, but they all unlock. Most of them only react upon restarting the game or going back into main menu, some only at the very end of the game. For two, it required a new game, even though I already performed the necessary actions (they were both not tied to the game progress, so I could instantly go after them after the start).
This is the kind of game I wish I could completely wipe from my memory just so I could play it again. The characters and narrative are so lovable. I had an absolute blast playing it!
