Premise A point and click adventure game - wait WAIT, keep reading - with minigames speckled throughout.

Deep Dive Redeems the sins of the point and click genre with intuitive puzzles and an unobtrusive hint system (press "h" any time for a tip on where to go next). While the puzzles are intuitive, outcomes are usually surprising - you may find yourself flung into a minigame or controlling a different character or you may get a totally unexpected reward.. Bittersweet philosophiccal tone may even make you feel feelings.

A lot of cozy games force you to wait through tedious sections while it jams the (often painfully repetitive) coziness down your throat but Tux and Fanny actually feels _quite_ fast-paced. It's true that the walking speed is slow, but everything else is blazing fast - the text is short and punch, minigames last just a few minutes, and nothing repeats.

Regrets The minigames are usually surprising and mostly interesting, but rarely good as standalone games. Fortunately they don't overstay their welcome.

Assessment Although this game seems tailor-made for me to dislike it (I don't like point and click adventures or "cozy" games) the constant drip of surprise and delight was a worthwhile reward to pull me along, and the intuitive puzzles and hints mean that I was never stuck for long.
