The game lacks focus and has spread itself too thin. After the last update (0.26b) I'd say that the bad outweighs the good.
The game doesn't take itself seriously, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it is so unbelievable that you can't really get invested in the story or the characters.
The story events are strictly linear, and you aren't given any meaningful choices to make. So there's no interesting gameplay in the game. You just open up the hints section, and go whatever it tells you to go. It's just meaningless busywork.
There is a wide variety of characters, but the lack of any significant player control over the protagonist becomes a problem when you encounter a character you can't stand. It's a bit like having one of those boxes of assorted chocolates where a couple are delicious, most are okay, and a few are downright nauseating. It would be great if you could just pick out your favourites, but having all of them forced down your throat makes for an unpleasant experience.
