When I backed this on Kickstarter in 2012, I never thought I'd get around to playing it in 2025.
Shamefully, the core of my interest is to remove it from the backlog.

Thoroughly enjoyed my time playing this game, loved the charm & wit of the world/colorful cast of characters.

Read moreThoroughly enjoyed my time playing this game, loved the charm & wit of the world/colorful cast of characters. I will admit I did use a guide to complete this game, however I only utilised it for the more intricate puzzles, otherwise I would've found myself stuck without a clue & ended up rating this a 1 after what would definitely be a frustrating experience to say the least. I did feel as though I came to most of the solutions myself, which gave me the joy of finishing the game.

Oh, boy. I see now what some people were talking about with the whole "second part" thing. A game that put quirky characters and cute worldbuilding front and centre has now devolved into annoying moon-logic P&C pseudopuzzles.
I mean.. fuck that knot puzzle. WTF.

Ok, that was pretty cool how the game stitched up both stories.

This game looks fantastic. The art is stunning and the animations are incredibly lively. On the other hand, I got stuck 2 minutes in. Point and click games are really not for me, I think.

Неплохая point-and-click-адвенчура, НО это всё, что я могу о ней сказать. Она НЕ плохая, но не заслуживает всех тех хвалебных слов, что я о ней читал, оценок в 8+/10 и прочего. Не стоит строить ожиданий чего-то невероятно увлекательного, тут хватает загадок из разряда "Как я мог до этого догадаться?" и "У меня получилось путём перекликивания на всё подряд". По итогу …

Не стоит строить ожиданий чего-то невероятно увлекательного, тут хватает загадок из разряда "Как я мог до этого догадаться?" и "У меня получилось путём перекликивания на всё подряд". По итогу игра на 3/5 - Не плохо, но и не слишком хорошо, чтобы быть чем-то большим

Have been playing this game for awhile, but currently taking a break. I still like it a lot, but I can see where a lot of people disliked aspects of it. I'm not really sure how far along I am, feel like I've been at it for awhile...

Just started this last night, it's a visually beautiful game!

Just got the Narrative Humble Bundle! I'm really excited to play all of the games, especially Her Story and Broken Age
