What players say

Players praise the German setting, funny character banter, and an excellent soundtrack. The puzzles are generally fun but a few minigames like the cow-and-monster game wear out their welcome. A known bug can prevent progress near the end, and the Nancy-and-Ned subplot feels out of place to some.
