April 2025
The sarcasm is strong with this one! This game is such a gem, if only it could be more well-known. The dialogues and witty comments are absolutely amusing, and the plot is carefully designed. If you play more rounds, you'll find more hidden clues, such as the fortune teller's advice actually makes perfect sense. What I did not enjoy includes the waiting for Evan to move around & the QTE stamping. Nevertheless, great game. Can't believe I didn't play it sooner.

This game was a lot of fun - felt kind of like a throwback to better gaming days... Polished game with excellent music, voice acting and writing. Recommended!

The game manages to show you the revolting living conditions of the people living under communism and dictatorship while still keeping a humorous tone, and I applaud them for that. The help option is also cleverly integrated into the story, and easter eggs have been planted here and there. It's been a while I hadn't played a point & click game, and I'm glad I did.

It is good. But first half was very good and the later part of the game less good.

A fantastic point and click adventure game in the style of Monkey Island and Broken Sword. Great writing. Lots of references to Monkey Island and other fun little pop culture references. Definitely worth buying, though you should never pay more than 20 bucks for a computer game...
