A brilliant point & click puzzle game that rewards keen attention to detail while telling an interesting (albeit bat#$%^ crazy) story. Bonkers but genius. Highest recommendation possible, even if you don't like puzzle games.

Excellent logic puzzle game with an engaging plot. I kept playing not just because I needed to see where the plot was going but because the logic puzzle in each section challenged me, something I've sorely missed from the Professor Layton games. 10/10, needs more dlc
