Extremely solid card game with a story that makes you curious to find out more and figure it all out. If you've played his other game, "Pony Island" then you'll be happy to see the quirky computer tricks are also in this game as well. He's a creator who's work I'm always excited to play and enjoy. The game's biggest strength is it's atmosphere, which is incredibly unique and diverse.
Personally, I think the acts are all quite good - they do play pretty differently though even if mechanics carry over. I think the different visual style of act 2 throws people off, but that act is very heavy on having a solid first turn, so I understand the mild frustration. If I'm being honest, I prefer Acts 1 and 3 overall, but Act 2 is still very enjoyable.
My only critique really is that sometimes the writing can go from clever and mysterious to a bit obtuse at times, and the videos you find have some strange acting beats. Nothing awful or cringe worthy, but a smidge distracting at times.
