Dec. 2024

Hands down, this was the game that brought the biggest smile to my face this year. It was funny, sweet, smart and you can tell that is was made with a lot of heart. I'll be honest though - the platforming could get a bit frustrating due to somewhat loose controls, and there were moments where I found myself rolling my eyes at some of the puzzle solutions. But these minor hiccups shouldn't stop anyone from experiencing this gem. If you can look past those small issues, you're in for an absolute treat.

I don't think I've ever laughed out loud at a game mechanic before, but that's the kind of game this is. Despite some slightly cumbersome controls for Ben, the Adventure Gamer, the puzzles are inventive and satisfying. The platforming is pretty solid, and has some fun mechanics that don't outstay their welcome. The dialogue is funny, and the story is original. Thoroughly recommended.

Sadly this is a narrow recommend. The game does a lot of neat stuff that's worthy of attention, but its let down by a few things: - The control scheme never quite gelled for me (I used keyboard + mouse), I got used to it, but it wasn't that fluid switching between characters to do different things. Part of me was just pining for the two character to be merged into one, so you could platform and point & click without switching. - The ending. I don't want to spoil, but I found it disappointing and damaged a lot of the game for me. I wanted more of a cullmination of all the themes of the game, and it just doesn't give us that. But there are a lot of positives. - The puzzle solving can vary and be a bit unintuitive at times, but other times it's super creative and just fun. Good point and click puzzles are a pleasure when you finally realise what you need to do, and this game touches on that a lot, doing truly perverse and crazy and creative stuff. The use of duct tape was fun for instance. - British humour and slang. I have not heard the term "John Thomas" in years, and "standing around like a lemon" is a term a British friend I have uses a lot, but don't really hear anywhere else except for this game. It's just nice some of the more understated turns of phrase are used. - Ocassional pontification. Sometimes the game dive in and discusses some theme or other. As I said above, I felt there could have been more done to build up on the themes, but the discussion they do have can be pretty fun. The Feeling Old level for example has a couple of good observations mixed in. I liked playing this game for the most part, and apprecaite it's doing stuff that's different, just sadly not overly enthusiastic about it.

If you have any soft spot at all for point and click adventures, this is fantastic.

Feb. 2024

Doesn't have a default mapping for a controller which is a no-go for a freaking platformer. Edit: It seems to work using Proton 8.0-5 now. So I can finally play the game! Do yourself a favor and don't try to run it natively on Linux.
