This was a fun little game that took me only an hour and a half to complete. That includes getting all four of the achievements. There were no secrets or collectables that I noticed so I assume that I saw all the game had to offer in 90 minutes, and that was with half an hour on the final two puzzles. Of note, the player walks a small figure across the pop-up book and this walking takes the majority of the time. If you recall playing old LucasArts or Sierra adventure games before they introduced the ability to quickly teleport to the edge of the screen you'll have an idea of what I am talking about. Remove the walking and this entire game takes no more than half an hour to beat. The content there is enjoyable enough if you like unique puzzles in your adventure games, but outside of a handful of haikus there is no story here to speak of, which is often one of the key components of adventure games. The music and art are lovely and the puzzles at the very least aren't frustrating and all but the final one I felt made a decent amount of sense. But as quantity goes down, quality has to go up to even out the value, and in this case, unless you are a huge sucker for this style of art, I can't recommend this game for $10. If you get it in a bundle or on a major sale for 75% off I would say it is worth playing, but for a game this short a complete lack of a story component and puzzles that are smart but not brilliant just make the whole package not worth the cost.

If you have the money to spare then I can say I enjoyed my 90 minutes playing this game. But if you have a limited amount of disposable income there are many better games that can be had for $10 that will also last you far longer.
