I played the game through in a single evening on the lower difficulty "Adventure Mode" setting (several of the eight hours Steam recorded were where I walked away from the game for dinner and chatter with roommates), and found it exactly what I was looking for in terms of difficultly and engagement for a stress free evening.

In addition, the voice acting was really well done, with some great lines and actors who have really brought these characters to life.
