Great art, good writing, and the code base looks solid for a renpy game.
The gameplay sucks a lot though. Like, A LOT, a lot. At some point early on it unravels into an itemhunt without any (useful) hints. I just had to click every interactable object in the game, several times - and still ended up getting stuck less than halfway through. The "puzzles" are just not intuitive, or even logical.
4 stars is really generous, and I would give 3 or 2 if it was a later update.
The problem is easily fixed, either with an ingame walkthrough, a lot more, solid hints, or even an external, official pdf walkthrough. If we get that, I'll raise it to 5 stars. If we get more of what it is now instead, 2 stars it will be. Its just too frustrating.
