Exceptional!! I don't know why this was free for a while but I'm glad it was. The characters were all very funny, and the story was similarly comedic and also well executed. The dialogue is impeccable: almost every line was either humorous or emotion-inducing, which definitely helped the characters stand out. The art is also really aesthetically pleasing; the character designs really enhance the feel of each character and the backgrounds are really pretty. Also, the color schemes both look good and also help highlight interactible objects.
But the gameplay itself really takes the cake. For what seems like not a lot of objects to influence, the game really takes the time to consider how they all interact, leading to a lot more solutions than I thought were possible. (I only found out there were multiple solutions to each part until after my first playthrough!) And they weren't all too obvious, either. There were enough hints to guide to each solution without having to use the actual hint system, but actually figuring them out (despite only needing to do 4 things, sometimes not even in a specific order) was pretty tricky (and super satisfying once I figured them out!). The solutions themselves were very clever and creative, and of course, they logically made sense given everything that was given (even if they were a bit strange).
10/10 game! Really impressive. Hoping to see more of something similar somewhere or sometime.
