This is a short but extremely fun little puzzle game with a strong and engaging narrative, quite a lot of humour and some great characters.

Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
102 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The art style is very fun and unique, the puzzles aren't really very challenging but are varied enough and there are some funny "combat" arguments/conflicts that also help mix things up and get you involved.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Amusing and wholly emotive voice acting--multi-language text packs make this a cross-cultural gem
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.

From the very pretty stained-glass style artwork to the almost chibi-like character design.
