Love the retro vibe and atmosphere and the characters are hilarious 10/10
What a unique little adventure. The entire game oozes of a distinct whimsical style, making it an experience I wont be forgetting anytime soon.
A very fun, grimy and strange point and click adventure game. The visuals and sound were excellent, and the puzzles were fun and intuitive for the most part. There are a couple of little variations and secrets for achievements which I appreciate. Charming and interesting!

this kicks ass. good bite-sized adventure game that I never really got stumped on. The puzzles make their own weird sense and it all just flows very well.
Unique point-and-click game with a strong atmosphere and gorgeous look. A genuinely great game :)
With a help of a good ol' brain of mine and video from Meeka Nomicon, i found out that there a JAR in third chapter and with that i can finish achivements with rat. Later i figured out how to complete other and nice, i completed it. Good game, worth it's money.
fun atmosphere, fun music, fun writing. No complaints
Fun little game inspired by old school 90s era point and clicks. Its also got a really quirky and somewhat ominous atmosphere and vibe that I enjoyed. The only downside is that some of the puzzles towards the end can be pretty obtuse and frustrating, and there also seem to be no real checkpoints within the chapters, so if you have to quit out of one of them you'll likely need to replay it from the beginning. Thankfully they're short so that doesn't take too long. Overall it was well worth the fiver.
Very charming game! I enjoyed it a lot and the surreal but fun atmosphere : ) Definitely worth a try especially considering the low price
Cool game! Really nailed that old style. The story was fun, I like all the little interactive segments. Its got a great atmosphere, the art's quite nice! There's some neat stuff in here, it's definitely worth the price. At only a couple hours long (perhaps a bit longer if you go achievement hunting) it doesn't ask for too much of your time and it doesn't bloat itself with unecessary segments just to extend its run time. So, very neat! Pick it up if it looks like your thing, better yet check out the demo for the first chapter. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
