The puzzles and the graphics are good, but I wish the story had more bite and less cutesy. KQ7 comparisons may be unfair... but come to mind nevertheless.
Hmm. The reason I liked it was because it was cutesy, not because I found it edgy. Still, I do agree that there may have been too much praise, perhaps actually having to do with the gender of the game's creator. *shrugs*
