I started, played about 20 minutes and very much enjoyed it. Thankfully I was prepared for it to only have the lightest of gameplay, so my expectations were calibrated correctly. Only slight annoyance is that I don't want the subtitles on but also if I miss a line of dialogue from someone there's no way to get the information I missed. This might end up not being an issue at all, though, seeing as the main way to get through the game is just to walk around and click on everything. I'd prefer to understand what it is I'm solving by clicking on everything, though!
(This turned out to be a total non-issue!)
Finished, it was great: legitimately very funny; wonderful animation, acting, and general presentation; not very much there gameplay-wise but it still made time to put fun little platforming sections in. My only sliiiight niggle was that while most of the time repetition was used to great comedy effect, there were one or two points where I groaned a little at having to go through the same tunnel or walk around the same hub again, even at less than 3 hours total play time. But they did keep on dropping new content through most of the game, and before it became a problem there was that truly excellent ending. I love how the game became an ode to interactive entertainment, just squeezing all it could out of a very limited interaction space.
Rating: some minor issues around light gameplay and repetition, but overall funny, fun and gorgeous.
