As history shows, point-and-click adventures have gone out of mainstream fashion quite a while ago already. However, if you have any inclination towards this type of game, for the love of god, buy this game *right now* and get ready for one of the very best adventures of the last 20 years. Its humor is Monkey-Island-esque, pixel art is on point and the animations are simply top notch. It offers all proper modernization approaches you'd expect from a 2024 game of that genre. The vast majority of puzzles are logically sound, but it also offers a well-done hint system which integrates nicely into the main game, in case you get stuck. It's fully voiced in and the voice actors did their job exceptionally well. The fact that it's the developer's first game is simply amazing. I really hope this game sells well enough for the devs to continue their work and keep developing more games of this quality. Thumbs all the way up!

If The Crimson Diamond was a Colonel's Bequest/Sierra throwback, this a a Lucasarts spiritual sucessor It even mimicks how the original talkies sounded by having actor deliver each line in isolation with a minimal pause in bewteen The logic isnt always ideal, you know what you are getting into, but it's so so neat :)

I'm 5 hours in but don't want to wait to review the game (it's a long game! I'm only up to chapter 3). It's phenomenal. Buy it. If you ever played a point and click adventure you should like this. If you are new to the genre you will enjoy it. It's well written (actually funny and high quality writing) and the voice acting is top tier for the genre. The art and animations are stunning. The puzzles are good. It works great with mouse/kbd or a controller (I've played 100% with controller so far and it's a great implementation). The music is just fantastic. This has to be one of the top point and clicks in the last few years.

An incredibly witty, funny and well voice acted game so far. Probably the best point and click adventure I've played since the old Monkey Island games. The voice acting is genuinely so good it makes me want to restart the game so I can hear all the lines I might have missed due to dialogue choices. The art and animation is some of the best pixel art I've seen in a game. It's also got the kind of quality of life features you'd want in every point and click; ability to skip dialogue, a button to highlight interactive elements in the environment, context-based option selection on different interactive elements, and the character actually gives you hints when you're trying to figure out what items are needed for what, which unlike in old school point and clicks, isn't obtuse, just mostly kinda funny, and a clever homage to the obtuse item use logic from the 90s and early 00s. An incredible game, especially as a studio's first title, cannot recommend it enough for fans of puzzle, point and click, and narrative games.

Hey friend. Are you into beautiful pixel art? Expertly hand crafted animation? Humor? Great music? Classic point and click gaming that's also snappy and modern? Murder mysteries on a moving train? Crazy, unique characters? Excellent soundtrack? Great voice acting? If the answer to the above is yes, scroll back up and buy this game. You'll thank me later.
