I've finished it and it was quite good. Here's my impressions:
Even the episode is on a short side, it's quite fun, along with being both old-school and fresh looking. LucasArts games were obviously the biggest inspiration, but the game still looked original.
Story-wise, it's quite refreshing, being mix of comedy, crime thriller and a little bit of cyberpunk. Character design is unique, with some "Grim Fandango-ish" grotesque style to it (i thought they were wearing masks at first). Puzzles are simple and fun, and regardless of "deja-vu" factor, do the job well. They reminded me of Full Throttle, since you'll be also wondering around in search of needed machine parts.
All in all, i think it's one of better AGS games made this year, even it's rather short.
