It's by Octavi Navarro, who did some art on Thimbleweed Park and has made a bunch of little cartoony dark comedy horror adventure games. This one is a mash-up of Monkey Island 1 and Sweeney Todd, it's got lovely art (a slightly more cartoony version of the old Lucasarts style, which is refreshing amongst all the Sierra pastiche art that is so prevalent in modern indie adventures), some nice animations and tunes, and a fun dark vibe. The only negatives really are that it's very short and easy (basically a compliment, as I would have liked more of it!), that the UI is sometimes a little too streamlined for its own good, and that it would have been nice for the twenty or so narrator lines to be voice acted. Tiny nitpicks, though, in a very fun little game.
Rating: fun but very short and simple, wanted more!
