It's well written with a great art style, the puzzles are well put together and the multiple ways of accomplishing an objective are fantastic and keep you revisiting areas or keeping your eyes open.

Usually I have to search things up to figure out how to proceed when I play other games, but this game was at the perfect difficulty for me.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Also, design-wise — while I really liked Lacey's character design (and come on, I'd totally dress like that if I had the money) — she honestly doesn't look like someone who stays home all the time, to the point where even a single outing for her brother is met with such enthusiasm and almost goofy behavior — I don't know how to describe it.
