The writing's meandering, the acting isn't awful but it's also directed really poorly so there are a bunch of incorrect line readings, and the puzzles are all mundane yet faintly silly. To work out a 4-digit passcode for the computer in "daddy's apartment" (to me it's quite weird to hear a grown woman call her father 'daddy', not sure if that's a cultural thing!), I had to find a cassette tape in a dictaphone, put it in a separate tape player (?), and hear a recording of my father reading out clues which boiled down to looking at his car licence plate and remembering that the museum had TWO statues outside. And the graphics are acceptable but bland. It's not bad, really, it's just all quite thoughtless. It feels like this was made to fulfil some contract and no one really gave a shit. I think the audience for this is adventure game fans who love the genre so much that this is like an idle clicker for them. So I only played a little of this before bailing.
Rating: mediocre at best
