How it feels

A lighthearted point-and-click adventure where solving a mystical mystery blends whimsical cartoon style with noir detective work.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn art, voice acting, and clever writing, comparing it to classic LucasArts adventures like Grim Fandango and Monkey Island. The game is short, about four to five hours, and puzzles are on the easier side with humorous hints. One reviewer warns of a poorly designed fight near the end.
