This is such a fun side scrolling game filled with puzzles. I grew up with this game on the xbox and have always loved it. It's very spooky and dark, but you can actually achieve good endings as well! Did not know that until I had bought the pc version and 100%ed the game. If you like the darkest of dark stories though, this game DEFINITELY has it.

Wonderful, beautiful, and humorous game about 7 individuals (I guess technically 8) with questionable pasts and personalities. Comedy is ever-present both in dialogue (well, mostly monologue) and the environment, with little details here and there, and I find that the best thing about the game. The puzzles are pretty good too, all of them being logical. It may take a while, but nothing's impossible to figure out without Google. 100%-able in like 16 hours. Some of the achievements are sort of hidden.

i played this a lot when i was younger, and going back to it was a total blast! the puzzles are engaging enough to where on repeat playthroughs you won't get bored (mostly, there's like one segment i don't like), and there are a lot of good jokes, details, and characters! the artstyle is one of my favorites because of how specific and unique it is, and the character animations are super cool as well. personally i think it's worth the money, but you can wait for it to go on sale if you think it's too expensive as is (which is how i got it). either way i completely recommend this game :D

Challenging puzzles, but not difficult to do. Some easy, some not. The animations are really fun, and graphics and controls work really well. I wish they'd make a sequal!

This game was okay. I thought it was an interesting direction for Double Fine, and I didn't hate it, but while the puzzle structure and concept was interesting, this didn't play to Double Fine and Ron Glibert's true strength. Humorous narrative engagement. It has some of that, but pales in comparison to their other hits. It's single fine. Get it on sale if you're bored. Recommending only because it's Ron Gilbert, it's not terrible, and everyone's entitled to a mediocre showing every once in a while.
