Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The graphics are very good with a simplistic yet cartoonish kind of retro style, well detailed and vibrantly colored look to all of it, that definitely just makes you want to stop and stare at every piece whether it be grandiose or simple like classic point and click games in the past.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The gameplay is very good, it is your standard point and click puzzle game, but it's quite enjoyable especially with how it handles puzzles, it also introducing unique gameplay like playing as Kerwan or Ketype, like Kerwan has Kitty who can get things from very high places or squeeze through certain stuff or detective Ketype who gets this ability to look into the past of objects and such, it all helps to keep the gameplay fresh and interesting.

But it's done so well, just a perfect balance between frustrating and boring or too easy.
