Gosh, such mixed feelings. All in all I believe it to be an ambitious failure. The story is confused and pretentious, the gameplay is repetitive and frustrating, the story themes are at times offensively simple and condescending.
I prefer to appreciate art when it reaches for the stars and comes up short - but this game feels more like a collection of influences and unfinished thoughts that occasionally strikes gold (ie. the first couple hours). I can't say that what this game ended up being as a finished product was good.
But all my praise to the visuals, the music, and the ambition, and I hope those that worked on this feel proud of the pieces. Please keep trying.

really wanted to like this. charming visuals and characters. But after many hours the story hadn't moved anywhere and thus it wasn't worth enduring the lack of game play. Daytime game play was virtually non-existent, and the nighttime find-the-musician 'puzzles' were incredibly dull and frustrating.
