This was a really cool game that can be played within one sitting. For how short it is, it was very effective at both letting me get to know these characters, and getting me attached to them. They both charmed me very much, and I'd happily watch a show with them doing shenanigans on the job in an alternate universe. The fact that the author managed that makes the latter third of the game much more effective in a way that I don't think would have worked as well without characters to care about. 

In terms of gameplay, it felt good to play! The hookshot was a really nifty tool whose mastery felt really good, and made area navigation feel high-speed. The environments were really fun and I adore the imagination behind all of it. (Thank you professor for all those fun facts)

I played three times, first time as intended, second time looking for secrets, and third time in an attempt to roleplay my own alternative ending. Very worth playing, I'd highly recommend!
