The puzzles were of the right level of difficulty requiring some thinking from the player, but simple enough that they didn't take up more space than welcome.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
it's quite a creative little indie game, the character design is great. the game runs fine with no issues. overall, a fun game, but very short, i finished it in around 3 hours. and then it took another 4 hours to finish the DLC, i highly recommend that you play the DLC too, it adds on to the story.
