A very nice point'n'click HOG from Artifex Mundi, where you play in a steampunk kind of scenery.
The gameplay is pretty linear and you can get help in any situation (depending on the currently chosen difficulty) but it's ok in this game as it follows the story. This makes the game a very good casual game, as you can quit and resume anytime in the last scenery.

I took my time at the first playthrough to enjoy all hand-drawn backgrounds and items (and in order not to miss any secret for the 100% achievements) and the main story plus the bonus chapter (the prequel of the main story which intentionally is meant to be played later) it took me about 3 hours and the "fast-click-speedrun" (to also get the achievement for playing it on hard difficulty) took roughly 1 hour (with skipped movie sequences wherever possible, but many puzzles can be solved faster than being skipped).


I can indeed recommend this game from Artifex Mundi, which ran flawlessly on my Ubuntu 18.04 familiar to almost all other Artifex Mundi games. Plus the system requirements are pretty low, so you might be able to play this game nearly everywhere, wherever your steam desktop client runs. So this game is also well suitable for children (maybe when they're old enough to read and when they're able to combine little information packages and draw conclusions). Apart from that you can play together and share the fun ;-)

It is also sometimes included in "Artifex Mundi game bundles" on 3rd party sites (Indiegala) and often on sale on steam for a few bucks (currently ~3€) which indeed is a very good value per playtime.

-> If you like how the images are drawn (and ofc like HOGs) go for it, there's nothing wrong with it (especially when on sale).
