I started playing this game while I was live-streaming. It was a "let me just roulette my steam list and see what I get" moment. I do not like these games. I think the plot devices are pretty ridiculous; make a hook out of a crane hook and a rope that you have to use 4 other tools to find just to fish out a feather from a well? No thanks. This game? Kept me pretty entertained even with that mechanic being a part of the genre. It has a fairly absurd story, lots of ways to get the wrong answer and continue, and overall, it was fairly easy to play.
