I won this game in a giveaway on Steamgifts where the gifter asked the winner to write a review (I don't _have_ to do it but it's good form on SG to try to follow the gifter's wishes if there are any). I have no relations to the devs and no reason to not be honest (which I only mention because I saw there's a discussion in the forums about fake reviews).

This is a casual point and click adventure that gets most things right enough to be enjoyable. The puzzles are in the range between easy and moderate, nothing overly complex. Most of them makes sense, at least after figuring them out, and there are no truly whimsical "monkey wrench" type of solutions.

Everything visual in the game is simple and functional; graphics, interface, etc. It does it's job and I found
nothing that really bugged me.

Ingame sound and music is really good. I just had to go back ingame to check if there even is any music, which there is. Why do I rate it as good if I had to check if it's even there, wouldn't that make it bland? I usually find ingame music very distracting/annoying so I tend to turn it off, not so in this game which means that for me the music fit perfectly with the atmosphere. Same goes for sounds in general, everything fits well to the game.

The game isn't voiced but it's not silent either, the characters speak a nonsensical language that again fit well with the theme.

The game itself ran fine, no issues or obvious bugs anywhere. When you launch the game you get to set the resolution, pick a display and choose between windowed or fullscreen and quality (I honestly can't tell the difference between the fastest and the fantastic settings so I guess it doesn't really do anything). I ran it full screen on native (4K) resolution. Ingame there is a settings menu but there's not much to set other than music on/off, sounds and such but there's really no need for anything more advanced as this game would likely run on pretty much anything that is capable of running Windows and you can attach a mouse and a display to.

The translation (Russian to English) is actually quite good, I only noticed a few gramattical errors on the level of "an lemon" instead of "a lemon" (just an example, there are no lemons in the game :P).

The price: (Note that I didn't pay for the game as I won it in a giveaway on Steamgifts) As only Episode 1 is out so far I can't really say if the price of 14.99€ for the full game is worth it or not but assuming Ep 2 - 5 will be of at least the same quality and similar length as Ep 1 (~2.5 hours) then I'll recommend it even at full price and definetly at a discount.

Oh, and that main theme (song played during the intro when you start a new game)...THAT song I noticed...simply amazing!

My verdict: Thumbs up!
