in case of a yes: really enjoyed the style and humor of this quirky little game. personally found the puzzle difficulty pretty good, the hints actually helpful without giving too much away at once (and plenty available), and the story & characters fun.

From a purely puzzle perspective, I think that the game reasonably increments the difficulty of the required puzzles.

The sound design and voice acting complement the visuals beautifully—Nelson’s voice is understated but earnest, while the supporting cast ranges from cryptically polite to subtly disturbing, contributing to a world that seems off-kilter in a way that is difficult to fully explain.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Let's get the positives out of the way: The voice acting is really good and fitting to each character.
