Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
I finished it in roughly 3.5 hours, which is longer than others, but I enjoy exploring every dialogue tree and trying silly things to see what I can make the main character do.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
A perfect tribute to adventure games of old with great pixel art graphics, catchy music and a quirky if puerile sense of humour.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
This classic point and click adventure game is the lone survivor of a cancelled trilogy, so sadly you'll never get the full story but you can still enjoy the hilarious dialogues, unlock achievements (some secrets), fill your inventory with a ton of stuff and have some good laughs :)

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
I do think that the price tag, at $10, is pretty high for the 2-3 hours of content and lack of replayability and suggest you look for this one on sale.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Couple the funny aspect of the game with great and enjoyable soundtrack, sounds of the game similarly presented in good quality, and the game also looks really pleasing.

Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
The puzzles are very well balanced in terms of difficulty, which is no small feat for this genre.
