I played this out of order, Harvey's New Eyes first, then got this one as I liked it so much.

This game has the most insane level of "comment interactivity" I have ever witnessed, and I've played Adventure Games since King's Quest. You can gather a large number of inventory items, and look, talk to, take, use, and combine with all other inventory items to get an almost endless amount of amusing commentary. With "talk to", your imaginary rabbit friend Harvey will usually answer, imitating the object. It's so funny and creative. If you want to see how crazily creative it can get, use everything you can on the fire hose, Harvey has quite some tales to spin. And be sure to use the comic book and police badge on everything! (I'd love to see the developer's dialogue tree breakdown of this game)
Another impressive amount of interactivity is the pen, ketchup, and mustard, which can change a GREAT many objects' appearances...just for the silliness of it. This game rewards the old school adventure gamer, many 4th wall breaks and references.

The story hits that sweet spot of silly, adult with references yet childlike with logic and interactivity, getting darker as it approaches the end. I think Harvey's New Eyes was more casually darker, where you're executing people right off the bat. Edna seems more genuinely nice.(except to those that don't deserve it) The asylum backdrop is ripe with ideas, locations, and wacky characters. Shoutout to Whispering World reference!

Most of the puzzles I was able to figure out, but there are a handful that I have no idea how I would have come up with without a walkthrough.(the monitors, the last coat hanger, the rocks) The abilities you gather are mostly only useful a single time, so it feels like a bit of a waste to introduce it as a mechanic.
