An honestly refreshing and incredible game - be prepared for a lot of dialogue and reading, but that's a good thing as it fleshes out each character and the story. I also appreciate the hint system as it feels like more of a collaborative effort and is tiered enough that it doesn't necessarily give the answer away - in fact some characters' hints are 'useless' in some puzzles in that they don't add to the solution, but they do add to their personalities which is great.
The one thing that I did not read into when I started playing was that this is the first half of the game, and am thus equal parts wistful and excited about the release of the second half.
Well done Percon and keep up the good work, will certainly come back to finish the whole game!
