If you want story and puzzles this is great to just chill out and work your mind

This is a game I remember when it first came out. I was a kid and watched other people play; it was so unique that it stuck in my mind and twenty years after it came out, I bought it to play as an adult. It is exactly as I remember it, even if I have a better appreciation and understanding about it. I fell in love with this game just through its opening into. It is absolutely amazing. The story itself is really a ridiculous journey that somehow works. Some of the mechanics are a little awkward. A part of this is the style. It's hard to tell from the pictures in steam, but the POV can be a little hard to work with, and sometimes the "puzzles" you're trying to work with aren't intuitive, so this game can be a little tricky. It's definitely worth it because this is one whacky adventure, the characters are so distinct and memorable, and overall it's just a feel-good game. Totally worth the full price, and just have some patience; this game is a little older!
