This game come off initially as a sort of stripped-down, nostalgia piece. However, it conceals a fair bit more gameplay, and a fair bit more clever gameplay than it initially seems. Some of the puzzles are downright challenging, and most require patience and extremely careful attention to detail. Most importantly, though, the game is really quiet funny. The writing is crisp and hilarious, even with throw-away jokes or "error" messages. I wouldn't count it among the greats of emotionally moving IF, but it's a wild, fun ride and definitely worth a play.
