A masterpiece! Awesome amazing !

A really masterpiece! I extended the gameplay time over three days. Most hard was in a beginning. What to do with door )) (yes it’s strange) everything else is ok.
Good work! Спасибо!

Tolles Spiel

Eine sehr interessante Geschichte und ein tolles Spiel

This is a waste of money

This game is terrible you can’t get anything done because if you look at videos you will note that their is a wooden file and you can’t get it if you don’t get it at the beginning of the game. You need this file. Anyways the other thing thats supposed to happen is this man Clem and he’s supposed to talk to you about calligraphy witch doesn’t happen. Don’t waste your money on this game.

Nice and long but a bit too easy?

The premise is very close to the knuckle of what is going on at the moment but makes our current situation look fun and cute in comparison..

Lots of different places to explore and lots of storyline without too much unnecessary dialogue.

Good voice acting and nothing irritating about it..

Fun retro style point and click with very dark notes.

Negatives
Objects tend to find their place very quickly within the place they are used so little backwards and forwards but with that, no real challenge to be found. Arguably one or two ‘puzzles’ to solve with so much heavy hinting to ensure the idiots playing don’t miss anything.
Linear playing style until the very end so different endings can be achieved just by replaying the final
moments.

Worth a try 100% and the storyline and length is good enough to keep going. Maybe next time give us point and click fans a bit of credit.. don’t worry we enjoy using an object on every single thing in every scene available over and over. It’s what we do..

I wanted to like this game

The mechanics and voice acting and art is top notch! My issue is the same of that of a lot of modern day point and click games.The character just seems bored like they don’t want to be in the game and they are unwilling to even think about performing any actions that might be interesting.

Just imagine some snobby pretty goody two shoes that doesn’t like getting her hands dirty and that’s the protagonist. In the game she’s a mechanic, but you wouldn’t know that playing her. Pepper in the ham fisted political propaganda of our current year and there you go. There is definitely a demographic for a game like this, and they obviously worked really hard at flushing out this world, the art is also amazing!

That’s why it’s so disappointing these days to play the retro style adventure game only to be smacked with the vapid boring mindset of a modern-day mary sue protagonist.This game is supposed to be post apocalyptic yet everyone acts like they need to be polite to each other.

Just imagine the apocalypse happened in the only ones that survived are the students at UC Berkeley and you pretty much have this game.
