Is this game a masterpiece? This game hit me like a hammer. I didn't expect that.

It is a polished point and click adventure. If you are not into that genre, it is of course nothing for you. It basically plays in a tiny 2-room apartment. Don't think it is a boring location, though. Your flat comes with a sleeping room, living room + kitchen, bath and anteroom, and a there a few more locations at certain sequences during gameplay... like your hamster's cage or a suddenly large closet. And the rooms change a lot. Every room comes with a few unexpected variations... From a freezing winter landscape in your sleeping room to your deceased grandpa suddenly sitting in your bathtub, there are some very strange surprises. The puzzles are not overly difficult, but sometimes do require a bit thinking (or even trial and error...), like the fight with a poisonous snake or the mini-game to repair a clock. The user interface is rather streamlined - right or left-click for the two interaction possibilities with items and hotspots, and you have a comparatively limited amount of items during the game. The voice-overs are very well made - and you get different (often witty) answers for nearly everything you try. No "This doesnt work" for everything. The game is not short, but not too long either. I was through in about 7 hours with 18/28 cheavos.

The thing that touched me was the story. You play a depressive, bent, unhappy guy who lives alone in his tiny flat and hates his job and boss. At first look I assumed it is an older guy in his mid-40s with a severe mid-life crisis... but actually you play a 22-year old boy. He has a serious childhood trauma and a very difficult relationship with his father. The story goes through his life situation - will he be able to break out and overcome his fears to start a happier life? Or will he just jump out of the window to end it all?

I love point and click adventures, and I play them despite their often childish and unrealistic stories. This game only comes with mostly unrealistic challenges - but it felt so realistic like only very few adventures I ever played before. All the problems are of course just methaphorical problems of your mind, so in the end it is realistic after all.

Conclusion:
Good classic point and click adventure about a young man who explores his sub-consciousness to turn around his miserable life.

I enjoyed the story line of this game. It tackles the idea of life transitions, family trauma, and finding oneself. It is a little macabre and pretty funny at times. I wasn't the huge fan of some of the puzzles only due to the fact that if you made a mistake they often made you start all over again, so it wasn't very forgiving. Oh well, some people probably really like that (the extra challenge) so it's not a fault of the game really. Overall, if you like point and click games, do not skip out on this game!

Too relateble. Hope my door doesn't vanish too
