Ratings and reviews

I love so much about this game. The character, the dialogue, the voice acting (though I usually play on mute and have to read the subtitles). The puzzles are great. They're challenging and you have to be careful not to miss anything important. The writing is clever, with strong character development, and at times meta (the menu conversation made me laugh). The developers are very personable and receptive and it's great to see passion going into indie games. I'll be looking for more from EL!

Brilliant. The voice acting for the lead character is perhaps the best I've heard in any adventure game. Very well-written and enjoyable, with great sense of humor. Puzzles are just challenging enough to keep you busy for a few days. My only concerns are the large number of typos in the English subtitles, and sometimes subtitles are awkwardly placed over the graphics, making them hard to read. Excellent game at a bargain price; please make another!

I rarely get this excited about a game, but I just love this one. It reminds me of fun point-and-click adventure games from the 90s, the ones created by LucasArts or Sierra. Pretty graphics, simple controls, little Easter eggs in the dialogue and object interaction, and a tongue-in-cheek plot. I haven't gotten very far in it yet but I'm already sad that I'll be done playing it soon. Nice job guys!
