Not gonna lie, I wanted to recommend this game when I started to play it, so I should explain a few things.

The story started interesting, the voice acting is decent, the art is also good, and I like point & click games in general, so far so good.

I got stuck at some point and stopped playing it for a while, then I returned to the game on this current PC, and since this game does not save through the Steam Cloud, I have lost the save from my previous PC. I had to restart it, of course, but the game isn't very intuitive, at least not for me, so I get lost too often, going back and forth, clicking on everything, checking if I unlocked the needed dialogues, dragging the inventory items to every place to see if something different would happen, I started to depend on walkthrough guides, which is fine by me.

The main issue is that the game gets easily boring, it gets tiring, to the point that I tried to push myself to keep playing it until the end, but I just can't play it without feeling saturated with it, so I just dropped it.

It was surprisingly good until the ending - it is so underwhelming
