This was my second attempt to play through this game. Honestly, I only made it about 2 hours in.
There are several issues with this game and especially this Switch port. The first is the cryptic nature of the puzzles. I find them way too difficult and far out. There are simply too many options of combining and examining that it makes me way too confused. Now bear with me, I'm not your savvy point-and-click-logic guy, but I rather consider myself quite the casual gamer, not super try hard in other words. I find the puzzles to progress the game frustrated me to a point where it's just not fun. I don't find it that satisfying to look at the damn help function for literally every single area of the game.
On top of that, the controls for maneuvering the Switch port is at best absolutely terrible. I can see this working on a PC for sure but with the button pressing and unintuitively order of the cycling function with the trigger buttons just a confusing mess.
Lastly, I find the world-building and writing to be quite boring. The characters are supposed to be funny, and some are sure, but I find most of them uninteresting and quite flat. The story has potential sure, but not enough to pull me through all the puzzles and clunky controls. There simply are better point-and-click games out there to play.
Over & out.
