I really wanted to like this game. I backed it on Kickstarter years ago, and was bummed when the drive failed. I was really excited to see it come back all these years later. All of this just increased my disappointment with it.

The opening of the game makes a good first impression, a young artist struggling to stand out under the shadow of his famous uncle. I thought it would be a Night in the Woods-esque experience, but the gameplay ends up just being hold forward, press X. Occasionally play a Simon Says mini-game. It ended up being was more of an interactive movie than an adventure game.

Which would be fine if the plot was interesting at least. I didn’t feel like any of the themes it sets up were explored in any meaningful way, and by the big climactic final set piece I was bored and waiting for the credits to roll.
