I've heard this game described as "a mix between Psychonauts and Bastion" due to its playstyle and humor. I haven't played much of Bastion, but I'm a massive fan of Psychonauts. This game is not quite as good as that game (a hard bar to reach, mind you) but it's a really great and charming little adventure. It's a very easy game, with only a couple combat sections requiring much skill; the emphasis here is on the puzzles and collectibles. It's got a really neat artstyle, extremely witty characters, and wonderful gameplay. There's not much to dislike here.
De beaux graphisme et animations de décors.
La musique, l'ambiance sonore et les chansons sont vraiment sympa.
Les mécaniques de puzzle sont sympa bien que assez basique. Les combats sont simple et les boss fight on aussi des mécanique basique mais pas désagréables.
Le tout est bien exécuté c'est plaisant à jouer.
Le scénario est assez simple mais correct, le sous texte (dialogues, scénario décors) sont très visibles.
Je pense que ça pourrait convenir à un enfant

Family friendly game with the heart of a point & click adventure but the body of an isometric action puzzler.
The artwork is beautiful and the characters are generally likeable but the gameplay itself is only middling and at times tedious. For a chill game to play before bed it was fine, I liked it overall.
One noteworthy terrible thing is that when you close the game, a loud trailer for the sequel jump-scares you. This is awful because it's the last thing you want before bed.

Very mediocre. The cover art reminds me of some of those I Spy dioramas, but in game it mostly looks pretty bland (outside of a few inspired pieces here and there). It uses point-and-click style item puzzles, which luckily are never moon logic-y, but they were pretty boring. Combat is sluggish and just... not great. Voice acting was kind funny (mah frurnd) but the characters are nothing.
Really not into how slow-moving and dull this game is in spite of the gorgeously drawn environments. There are no hints if I get stuck on a puzzle, so I have to slowly mosey on through the terrain to try to find something I missed. The puzzles aren't really hard, but they're not easy either, so without hints, I imagine a kid would have an absolute conniption if they got stuck. The voices are annoying. I dislike the quirks of the characters, like the rhyming mayor and singing. Not into that.
Not to mention - can you imagine being a kid playing this and hearing the first boss talk about vaccines containing autism? I understand that it's a villain trying to fearmonger with misinformation about vaccines, but that's not spelled out enough for young/impressionable folks in my opinion. WTF.
I had to shelve this game. Maybe I'll pick it up again someday when I have the patience or they update it with a little more speed and a little less clunk.

i really wanted to love this game. it should be a game right up my alley- hand-drawn art, fun music, a psychology focus. unfortunately it is so damn boring. i felt absolutely no reward from completing the puzzles and no joy navigating the game's world despite the gorgeous aesthetic. the jokes fell flat and the sidekick's voice was grating. there seems to be a lack of understanding of mental health, what is supposed to be the theme of the game, beyond rudimentary connections that cause the entire game to falter. idk someone tell me if 2 is any better
It's... alright.
The story is engaging, the artstyle is gorgeous, the concept and worldbuilding are fantastic. Music is quite nice as well, if a bit repetitive.
The only real problem is that it's not really fun to play, and that ruins the whole experience. Gameplay is extremely basic, and a large majority of the puzzles are very easy. I felt bored for a good 3/4 of the game. It just sad to see that it's got such a nice concept but then fails at being the very thing it is supposed to be: a fun game to play.
Also, I can't stand Piper. She won't shut up, give you the most obvious pointers to the point that it feels like she is babysitting you, and I found her voice acting atrocious; it feels fake, exaggerated and exhausting.
Get this if you enjoy the concept and if you are forgiving, or to support the devs (game's pretty cheap so why not?).
