Title
While most of the game was quite enjoyable, some of the puzzles or writing certainly fell flat. What did stay consistent were the charming case settings, well-crafted artwork, and immersive soundtrack.

If you're on the fence of whether to try this game out, my recommendation would be to wait for a sale on steam, and then play a case or two before deciding if you'd like to return it. If you're a fan of the genre and the humor seems right up your alley, then definitely give it a shot.

    on the short side (5 hours without the bonus cases) but a fun game overall.

    Such a cute P-a-C with nice references, it's a very light and short experience but it's fun enough
