Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
45 of 138 sampled reviews raised it
But this also brings in a ghostly possession element which is fun, and overall the dialogue and writing in this game are honestly better than any of the Blackwell games.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
27 of 138 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack was a great throwback to the '80s with its chip-tunes, the characters - including Arthur, the mini-game, riddles, story, and graphics.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
19 of 138 sampled reviews raised it
It's honestly amazing and on par with the industry legends, I wouldn't even hesitate to put it in the same league as The Day of the Tentacle (arguably the best adventure game in terms of mechanics and puzzles).
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
15 of 138 sampled reviews raised it
Classic point-and-click feel, appropriate pixel graphics, and sound is even appropriately retro.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
13 of 138 sampled reviews raised it
However, in this case, I would have great difficulty finding a single thing I didn't like about this game—there are none.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
7 of 138 sampled reviews raised it
Well written and funny, this was a treat and genuinely reminiscent of the early days of light-hearted P&Cs but with a modern interface.
