A true masterpiece. Real pixel art, not AI sloppa. Great voice acting. The game plays to its strengths. Very rewarding casual experience. It's all about the vibe, the ambiance, taking it all in. Just enjoy the coffee and pie, my guy. After your third playthrough, it's fun to switch up the music. Strange Trails by Lord Huron or Meddle by Pink Floyd come to mind. Don't forget to enable Ransom's uncensored speech ability. The beeps are very annoying.
I you like Lucas Arts games from the 90s, or enjoy playing games in the ScummVM style of click through adventures, you will absolutely adore this title. I already feel like I'm back in the era when I play. It's so wonderfully executed, we the same cheeky in-game references and fourth wall breaking jokes. I got it when it was on sale the other day, but I would say it's still worth 20 bucks if you wanted to get it today.
A fun game. Playing with up to 5 characters at the same time adds a new dimension to the classical "adventure games" genre.
