Uses the adventure game genre as the framework for the craziest character interactions ever conceived. Most of the puzzles are stupid, but they're generally solvable (none of them would ever be done by any actual human in reality, though). The biggest issue is actually the pixel hunting, which can be annoying at times. The engine has some technical issues too, but as long as you stay in the application without tabbing out, it's survivable (even when it feels like it could crash at any second).
Looking forward to playing the more genuine House of Tales games.
