Bear With Me a moment...

This review may not be what you want to read. However, I feel I must voice it.

The game has a lot of good going for it. The Noir/Fantasy/Horror is actually pretty exciting and so is the characterisation. This said, game falls short in two areas.

Firstly, it has all of the problems that point and click adventures usually have. With counter-intuitive puzzles and the poor pacing that comes with that. This is magnified when the protagonist whinges, "Are you are you even trying?" Over and over, when the only way to find the answer to some of the 'puzzles' is to place everything you have in your inventory on everything in the environment, until it solves itself.

This leads to the worst crime of the game.... The protagonist is an absolute prat... Some of the nonsense that comes out of her mouth could only be rational if she had just returned from her monthly meeting at the Wear a Running Blender as a Hat Club.

This saddens me... The scenes where she isn't in the game are good; properly good. I'd happily play 5 episodes of the game as Ted, without her. But her voice and actions make me grind my teeth.

So to conclude: Cool idea... What the hell happened with the execution?
