What players say
This game is awesome. Games basically always get ignored unless they have some crazy new unique idea, but this is just, like, a really fun adventure game! It has some interesting, like, themes in it. It has fun characters. It has a shocking amount of fully voiced dialogue for nonsensical SCUMM interactions. What's not to love, especially when it's often on sale for 90% off?

If you are a fan of old school point and click games during the Lucasarts Heyday you absolutely must play this. It looks old but is modern. Voice acting is great, writing is smart & funny and will make you feel young again if you grew up adoring these games (kings quest, space quest etc)
A rather fantastic entry in the well-trod Lucas-esque adventure game genre. Looks wonderful, sounds great, for the most part the puzzles are solid and the writing is perfectly cromulent. Substantial enough to entertain without outstaying its welcome and no sequel bait (not that I would say no to one!), and I enjoyed Finn as the 'hero'. I didn't dislike anyone else, though I could say I didn't get a lot of chance to...
