I'll rate this game with the Roger Ebert method of asking what was this game trying to be, and barely, barely give it a pass.
Pros:
* beautiful art
* beautiful story
* amazing voice acting
* awesome puzzles (including super obscure ones that many people are complaining about)
Cons:
* jumping
* basic interactivity
It is obvious that this game was not properly playtested. It is one of the most frustrating adventure games I have ever played. You will know exactly what you want to do to solve a puzzle, but the jumping mechanic will make you retry it 5, 10, 20 times. And basic things like jumping up to a ledge are a chore. Additionally, why does a PC game have a save file limit? What is the point of that?
Anyways, this is an absolute beautiful game that could have been great. If you are willing to be patient with the broken jumping mechanic, you might find it tolerable. It is a terrible shame that this game didn't live up to its potential, not due to the story (which is a 9/10) or the art (which is at least a 9/10), but due to the broken platforming mechanics. In any case, I look forward to seeing what this developer can do in the future, hopefully with better playtesting.
Protip: press the jump 3 times to register.
To the developers: add a hint mechanic. Not for me, but for the people who are dinging you on the review for the obscure puzzles. I liked them. But not everybody will like Zak McKraken-style puzzles.

It's an adventure with platforming elements. Controls are janky, so it got annoying real quick.
