How this isn't bigger is beyond me. Unique wholesome cute style. Runs smooth as hell. The writing is genuinely funny. The voice acting is just perfect, you can tell they all had a blast recording for this, especially with Daniel. Just an incredibly sweet little game with a tonne of heart.
Amazing Game! i really wasnt expecting this to be so good. We are talking old school adventure levels of good here, which is so rare nowadays in the genre! And this is because, apart from the great art, characters and story, the puzzles shine in this game, You get ... actual puzzles, a la Lucas Arts, instead of the easy non existent puzzles of many of point and click games of today. Very satisfying length as well. A huge BRAVO to the devs! Will be looking forward to their future projects.
i want to give this a thumbs up because it benefits differently abled people and probably was a lot of fun for the protagonist to make. however, the more i play, the harder it is to recommend. i'm giving it a temporary thumbs down just because i think the game does not feel finished or consistent. many puzzles are far more tedious than necessary and the UI has a lot of redundant features. there is a major lack of QOL in most situations, some puzzles just require you to tap the same thing dozens of times in a row or repeat long tedious sequences of actions. sometimes the game writes down codes for you, sometimes it doesnt, and often it feels like total guesswork/brute forcing. moon logic is one thing, but its 2025 and we should have a little more convenience and fluidity in how we interact with a game. i am one of the few people giving this a thumbs down, but i am going to continue playing it and i will not be asking for a refund. it's just that the basic game mechanics feel like a huge barrier to enjoying the content that i bought the game for.
Pros -Wonderful artstyle, that 2D pixel art mixed with 3D elements really works. - Nice background music, - Good puzzle design, mostly classic point and click inventory style but some minigames and other things thrown in. Pretty engaging. - Charming characters - Interesting story - Fast travel - Built in hint system - Show all hotspots tool - Auto-Save and Manual Save - Good voice acting. -Can be played entirely with mouse, including exiting and saving the game and hotspot reveal. Cons - There is a weird 3rd person section of the game which seems to be problematic if playing with mouse. You can choose to skip it though so this is a real nitpick. Overally definite recommend.
Best point in click i've played in years Great design, great writing, perfect voices and fun characters You gotta love Dan! I dont know how people havent seen this game!
One of the better point and click games I have played. I never would've imagined a character with down syndrome being a protagonist but I really enjoyed it! The game is quirky with its puzzles but it's a good laugh. It has a fast travel which brings you right to certain locations that I don't recall ever seeing in any other point and click game which is amazing! I look forward to another game from this development team!
Fun game with basic but good humor. and charming artstyle. I'm glad that there are in-game hints, with some of the puzzles I'd have never guessed what to do by myself. Not long, but enough for what it is. I had fun and I'd recommend as a chill game
This is a solid point and click adventure. Good/fun story. Quality puzzles that can be solved with a little thought. And Dan was a great character to experience it with. I wasn't expecting much when I started but wound up really enjoying it.
Fun P&C game with a unique voice. Puzzles and challenges are simple but can really rack your brain sometimes. Laugh out loud funny.
this game is actually so bad!!!!!!!!!! no correlation in any of the puzzles just tedious and boring
