low 3.5

its an adventure game! it suffers from the usual Adventure Game problems of obtuse puzzles and general jank but the real pain of this game is from the segments of having to wait for an unspecified amount of time for quests before being able to progress. its annoying and vague and really shouldve been swapped for some other sort of mechanic

but it was fun! samuel is a rude little dunce which was funny. the voice acting is actually pretty good albeit sort of slow but you can just skip over it if you click. some of the character animations are too slow for their own good and made me think the game had frozen but idk if that was just my computer or what. all of the areas look cool and some are just super pretty too.

overall i enjoyed it and will probably try to play the sequels and maybe even the remake out of curiosity
