I recommend this game, but it's important to realize if you play it that it's not very good as a game: it's a point-and-click adventure game (which I generally enjoy), but it has issues. On the 'simplistically frustrating' front, there are interface oddities such as trying to figure out whether to 'use' a door to go through it or 'walk to' the door to go through it (the game sometimes allows either and sometimes required exactly one or the other, inconsistently). The game also really really really wants to tell you a story in a particular order, so in order to advance the plot, you constantly have to go back and do something that you already tried earlier, but this time something different happens for opaque reasons.

The story itself is interesting and deals with important topics, but tends to deal with them in a simplistic manner. It's nice to see the topics addressed, but can be a little disappointing if not concerning. To be more specific, but spoily: at one point you play a rape victim re-living the attack, but *this* time you fight back, and conquer your demons! The implication a) that no fighting back happened the first time and b) that fighting back is all you need to do to prevent rape, is not very realistic. On the other hand, I was glad to see the issue addressed in the first place; I just wished it had been handled better. I similarly felt that the Nimdok backstory was handled a little more ham-fistedly than the subject matter deserved. I suppose in general that if you take into account the fact that the story this game is based on was written in 1967, and afford it a corresponding level of slack and skepticism, it works out in the end.

However, those complaints aside, I definitely enjoyed the game, and found the characters and the story compelling. I would recommend either playing this with a walkthrough not far away if you only want to play it once, or plan on re-playing it a time or two if you want to discover the more obscure parts (and best ending) yourself.

I got this game because reviews seemed to indicate it was sort of like a cheap 'Aquaria', which I liked a lot. However, the second boss battle was too difficult for me, and the game as a whole wasn't compelling enough for me to actually want to get good enough to beat it. So, I gave up. Maybe try it anyway if you like platformer boss battles a lot in and of themselves; the rest was pixel-y graphics and lots of story-through-abandoned-short-journal-entries.

This is a cute little game with amusing characters, fairly reasonable puzzles, and an interesting story.

My son and I played this game when it came out for a solid year+, finishing it an average of once a month. Each time through there were little side things we saw or dialogue we found. Compelling enough to replay multiple times; intricate enough to find new things each time. Highly recommended.

I've enjoyed other Wadget Eye games, but I was surprised by how much I liked this game--the story was intriguingly complex and involving; the world was interesting and well-realized, and the characters had strong motivations and made interesting choices.

The gameplay was mostly fine, marred a little by slow sections at times, but mostly by hunt-the-pixel puzzles. Seriously, it's 2017; hunting for objects on a screen without a way to highlight them should be universally understood to be bad game design at this point. Once I actually knew where I could click, the puzzles were usually fairly straightforward and reasonably satisfying.

Went back to finish this over the holidays, and remembered how much I enjoyed it. A solid puzzle game with an interesting core mechanic, nicely explored, with additional mechanics added at a reasonable pace. Usually not too difficult (but sometimes too difficult), and the art is creepy and interesting.
