I'd heard good things about this game and was quite eager to give it a go. Unfortunately, two major issues I had with the game left me with no desire to finish it.

First, the main character. Rufus is immoral and contemptible, and while the notion of seeing him go through a journey of personal growth and come out something more would definitely be appealing, up to the point I got he had shown no signs of change. It was also hard to understand the rationale behind some of his decisions, or to understand why he was so full of himself. Maybe he changed at the end of the game, but... I had no desire to stick around and find out.

As to the puzzles, while I'm all for a bit of challenge and some convoluted logical steps (the Phoenix Wright games are amongst my favourite, and they're not exactly bastions of clear logic at times), this game at times had some completely baffling combinations required to progress. I see other people in the comments saying you need to combine everything with everything to progress, but really, if that is what is required then there is something wrong. It goes from being a logic game to just a clicker game. You may as well play cookie clicker while watching a tv show at the same time. Perhaps its too quirky for my tastes, but at one point I found myself needing to go to a walkthrough to see what to do next, at which point I uninstalled the game.

Clearly the majority of people who have rated this so far have enjoyed it, and good for them. I just found it more irritating than enjoyable.
