It is less well reviewed than 98 percent of its genre. On the same math Bear With Me - Episode One (free, scores 67) and Unforeseen Incidents ($19.99, scores 58) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.
The drop-off

What players say
I played Episode 3 years ago (not knowing it was a sequel) and I liked it, despite still being a (forever) unfinished story. So I bought these 2 previous entries, expecting more of the same. Don't do that. 1 and 2 are ridiculous. Firstly, they offer a terrible interface: no save menu, no options, no hot spots key, no fast walk, no fast transitions, unmarked interactables, atrocious inventory, no item descriptions...
