gonna be honest, the movement system alone is way too infuriating for me

Oh, God, this game is weird. It's so so damn weird. First of all, it consists of two parts: platformer and point'n'click adventure. Both two parts are weird. In platformer you use mouse to control your character. I mean... where have you seen such a thing: platformer with mouse controls? What? First few minutes I was very confused with such controls, but then I got used to it and it turned out to be actually very fun. The only pain in the ass: levers. It's sometimes very hard to activate levers and control character movement at the same time. What's about adventure? Well, guess what, it's even more weird than platformer. You're kind of detective, but to investigate you use some strange device that is attached to your intuition. So, to go on with investigation you often need to do some random things to trigger your intuition. Fortunately, there are not so much active objects on the screen so game doesn't make you feel lost. Most of them time it's pretty easy to figure out what to do. I got stuck only two times. First time at the prologue. when two guys are drinking coffee(I needed to click on lamps so they can start conversating). And second time in chapter 4, when it was needed to open a locker. So, puzzles in adventure part are quite random, but quite easy to figure out, so game doesn't frustrate you and pretty fun to play. Ah. yes. you can skip platformer levels, but if you do you won't get a good ending, so I don't recommend to do it. So, generally, very cool and fun game for really cool guys and point'n'click adventure fans. ¡Buena suerte!

My real playtime isn't 1.4 but 6.6.. Unfortunately, I had to be offline and steam counts weirdly. I am saying this because the game isn't small but it isn't huge either.. It definitely isn't 1.4 hours.. Quirky little game that will draw your attention. It doesn't make much sense at start (or at the end) but, if you pay enough attention to the details, you will come to understand a very dark reality. At the same time, there is hope lost between the cracks. The puzzles to some might seem illogical but they aren't. It is recommended to finish the first playthrough using your "intuition" and not logic. On your second playthrough (or upon finishing the game most likely) things will be much clearer but not "set in stone". It has a couple of very witty mini games and of course the platforming section. That section has a unique feeling to it by how you control the character. The mouse is responsible. The music and sounds were nice (for some reason mine were turned to 0% at start, I was surprised) along with the art. The English are ok in the game. Only a book is a bit weird to read. The game doesn't really have any negatives apart from sometimes having to move the mouse frantically on some dialogues to make it show up and select a choice. Anothe drawback and annoyance mostly is the Game Over, [spoiler]yes, I understand the meaning of it and why it happens like this but, it still is a bad idea to have to wipe the game[/spoiler] but if you like the game enough it's fine I guess.. But I honestly hope they add a way to change status [spoiler], at first I thought that completing the "Trials" (mini-game game mode) would "unlock" a new game.. That wasn't the case..[/spoiler] For more reviews, follow my curator https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44864435-Mewesome-Reviews/
