Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The gameplay mechanics are confusing or nonexistent- I honestly don't know if I missed the point/the intent here or if there isn't any and this is just showcasing gameplay as a means of introducing a story within the larger game.

You don't need extensive graphics settings, you need optimization.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The gameplay isn't to bad but it could be better with smoother controls for turning in 3rd person view (1st person is fine to me at least) the puzzles are fine with the style they are and game was running smooth like butter no hiccups, crashes, clipping and some of the things i encountered are down right funny like the peddle boat flipping in the air tossing me across the lake and get eaten by cat-shark.
