The puppet show FMV dream sequences were a nice touch to add another wrinkle to the visuals.
Gameplay

However, it did create a unique mechanic that I had not seen before, so I give props to the developers for thinking outside the box and not just following with the trope of just selecting answers.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The sound effects used were very crisp, and the music was enjoyable(especially in the lounge area since there was a variety of music you could listen to on the jukebox).
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Even though I didn't find the overall playing experience to be fun or enjoyable, I still found the concept and character design great and full of potential.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Note: IMO I didn't feel like the game was short, the difficulty of the puzzles and all the stuff you can make in the game makes it feel that way.
