It's the year 1993. Talking robots, ghosts from the past, and ancient alien technology buried under desert sand. A modern point-and-click adventure following Elroy and Peggie in the search of a long-lost father. How far would you go to bring back the ones you love?

Runs well on modern hardware.

Cute, until the ending... or well, any cutscenes. They go on forever, and don't let you skip dialogue, even if they take 20 minutes (or what feels like 20 minutes.) It's got references and easter eggs to other point and click adventure games from earlier eras. Though only the lightest nods that are maybe 1 sentence of dialog by one character. The ending is ... frustrating. Particularly if you want to see all of it and have to waste 10 minutes hearing the same dialogue over and over. There IS an autosave BEFORE the unskippable (even on replay) cutscene, but you cant auto-save at any moment after it... a "brief second" before you step into the cutscene... or the SECOND cutscene or the THIRD would be nice. Its otherwise cute, slightly challenging, and fine. Maybe wait for a small sale?
Great game! I leave games early way too often these days, but not this one. It has a great story, it doesn't get repetitive, and it has the right amount of difficulty. Great art style. I could imagine greater/longer endings (also the game could be a bit longer) but these are small complaints. In short. I'd recommend this game, and I hope it gets a 2nd part.
What fun! Easy, fun game. Very well done, good artwork, great story. No stress, delightful. Recommend for relaxing time.
