Story

Despite its restrictive, limited gameplay, its plot was interesting and it had heart (so it's not a totally foregone conclusion that this type of game is necessarily going to be awful).
Gameplay

The gameplay sticks to a classic point-and-click foundation, but with a smooth and modern touch.
