Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
There were no actual puzzles more complex than "hit the only other button in the room", there was, perhaps, one or two funny moments in the whole game, and the story starts off fun and interesting, then promptly jumps off a cliff to instead make this some kind of all-but-vague commentary on the modern political climate while also practically flipping off the player for having gotten slightly invested before that point.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The art is great, the voice acting is competent.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Everything is so well done and if you like point and click adventures, gorgeous 2D animated graphics, or British humour, you owe it to yourself to give this a shot.
