While, for the most part, the puzzles are easy, utilizing a pretty cool time travel mechanic, it's the story and writing that really carry this game through. Every time you click on an item,Joe will have something funny to say. If you are looking for a good story to keep you entertained while you sit in a waiting room, or on a train, this game is certainly worth a buy.… Expand

   The story is well written, many plot twists are foreshadowed through environmental storytelling so the end of the story is very satisfying for the observant player.… Expand

   Truth be told, I had a bad feeling as soon as the game launched, but a few minutes in I changed my mind u-turn style. This simple point n' click is just pleasant to the senses and fun to play. It's immersive, fluid, intuitive. Everything is very clear, from the interactive objects that never require a hot spot key to the objectives, the short inventory and the use of time shift. The story is compelling and humane while not taking itself seriously. Progression is easy, making the story flow, but not to the point of feeling carried by the hand. The pace is just fine.
   
   This is minimalism done right.… Expand

   The good: story and atmosphere. Voice acting was also good, for the very little there was, sadly most feedback is through text, combined withThe good: story and atmosphere. Voice acting was also good, for the very little there was, sadly most feedback is through text, combined with an occasional awkward reaction sample. The graphics and gameplay have this typical flash-game-style, meaning it's simple. You only need a mouse with left click capability. Puzzles are quite simple, but the timetravel mechanic, although hardly revolutionary at this point anymore, makes it fun.
   
   The one issue I have with this game is the ridiculous size. I don't get how the download could be 3.5 gigabytes for a game that's only 3 hours long having just a handful of areas, barely any voice acting and such simple graphics. Using filesystem compression already reduces it to about 900MB, which means they didn't even try. Though even at 900MB, it still seems much too big for a game like this. Disk space or download time may not be an issue for many, but this kind of game could be interesting for people with old systems, which don't always have that kind of space available.
   
   Anyway, I got it for 99 cents and it was definitely worth the money. I would've felt a bit cheated if I had paid the full 9.99 for it though.… Expand
