Very clunky shooing sections will surely frustrate people. On the other hand, it does have some kind of metaphorical value in the narrative. The story doesn't really spark until the twist in the end, which some might already guess it as the game is not stingy with hints. Maybe it's because it started out as a student project, the way the game implement its Cowboy Bebop references is rather ...inelegant. They are completely out of place and too on the nose. I wonder if the lobby of Hibiscus Highrise is a reference to Chef John.
