Abscission

Ran into a game breaking bug by choosing an alternative solution to a puzzle and then the hitbox to move forward just disappeared. And I had already blocked the other path of the puzzle. So I lost interest in going back to a super old save and trying to fix it. Edit: The game has been updated and this issue is no longer a problem. Happy to continue the game.

God I love playing games where you are a truly miserable detective who can't seem to stop messing up his entire life. Probably one of the best heroic archetypes of modern media. There were a couple (exactly two) times where I was forced to look up a guide due to some weirdly precise clicking in some puzzles. I knew something was there, but I didn't click in just the right spot. A little frustrating but I'll chalk it up to being a callback to true 90s point and clicks where that sort of thing was eveywhere. I've seen some other reviewers complain about the length. Yes, it's short but for a game like this I find the story is often at it's best if it can be kept ~3 hours. If anything, that had me enjoy it even more.

Really good and immersive Lovecraftian point-and-click game. Very well made. Highly recommended.
