Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
167 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The main character is insufferable, but he's reasonable within his character development and the plot.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
56 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The voice acting, the artwork, the music, and the basic gameplay is fitting.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
46 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I really like the beautifully and somewhat more “simpler” hand-drawn art style of this game, as well as its cartoon-like animations.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story, the character design, the dialogue, the art style and the music really fit well together and the Point'n'Click mechanics have been implemented nicely.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The most salient reason for its success is the main character, who is brave as he can be given the terrible limitations of his harmlessness, politeness, and decency, and the consideration he shows nearly every other character he encounters.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The puzzles have clear, practical application paths to indicate what you should be doing at a given time, and sit at a nice level of difficulty.
