Alright, I panned this hard because of some initial impressions and a serious bug that caused a complete Black Screen of Death on Windows 10 Pro. But after restarting, I set the game to windowed mode and played it through.

DO NOT RUN THIS GAME IN FULL SCREEN MODE OR YOU MIGHT LOSE EVERYTHING ELSE RUNNING IN YOUR CURRENT WINDOWS SESSION.

I thought this was an old game, they did well convincing me that it was retro. One reason I legitimately thought it was an actual old game was the config uses DirectX9, which was released initially in 2002. The other option is DirectDraw 5, which is a long discontinued API. The game refused to load using DirectX9, so I had to select DirectDraw 5 to get the game to work.

Upon learning this game was released in 2016, I'm quite miffed that they didn't make this more compatible with modern computers, and for that alone I'm still tempted to keep a negative review.

So, to repeat what I yelled above, do not use fullscreen mode. I did so, and tried to switch to the Windows desktop via Alt-Tab and the game immediately caused a Black Screen of Death. I had open a couple database files, a development IDE, and many browser tabs.

I could not even break out of the BSOD by hitting Ctrl-Alt-Del or Ctrl-Shift-Esc, I also couldn't use the Windows hotkeys to switch to another desktop (which I've done on other misbehaving games like FarCry 2 which seem to like to BSOD).

As a result, I may have lost some things I was working on, all to play this game for a break from work. I do not consider that acceptable, given the year this was released, and that Windows 10 is fairly standard. As such, I can not recommend this game.

All that aside, this game is a point and click adventure the likes of The Secret of Monkey Island. It does have some humor to it, but it's got more of a Life is Strange feel.

The opening was quite heavy with religious narratives, and that put me off as an atheist that doesn't want to have some game attempt to be a morality play encouraging one to find salvation. Fortunately, once I got past the initial scenes, I realized this was not the case.

The story is pretty good, definitely borrowing bits and pieces from Twin Peaks. The voice-overs were done well, there were no weak performances for the most part.
