Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The developer clearly understands the genre with how the game is written and structured and it even manages a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ending like like a PNC should have.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
I was worried I would find the main character's voice a little annoying (apologies to the developer's wife) but it was fine for the most part, maybe the audio quality could be a little better in places and the art style isn't my favourite but also fits the setting of the game quite well.

Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
It's probably the perfect difficulty as well, a good few times I had to stop and think about a solution, to the extent that I think a built-in hints system could have been worthwhile for this game (but I'm personally fine that it doesn't have one).

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
Fanswill enjoy spotting the various references (Monkey Island, old TV shows), whilst the well-constructed puzzles, interface and overall gameplay will keep you entertained even if you don't get them all.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Solutions often require thinking about how Lucy’s subconscious interprets the world, which gives puzzle solving thematic weight rather than reducing it to mechanical progression.
