As a Fan of UE4 I couldn't stop but wonder how great it would be if the game was rebuild in UE4 with proper lighting and better UI with more intuitive controls.

Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
Apart from some from the "guess the sequence"-, "sort the puzzle pieces"- and "put the Cheese Key in the Cheese Lock"- Puzzles, most of the tasks have a pleasant level of difficulty about them, nothing that will make you draw mindmaps at work but hard enough so know your brain is doing something.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
I'd say it's probably worth a go on sale, but definitely not the full price. (~£15 for ~5 hours worth of gameplay.)

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
There is a very mellow soundtrack in the background that ebbs and flows whilst you play.
