Additionally, the humor and sound design have been deemed unappealing, leading to a general consensus that the gameplay does not justify its cost.

“Hints aren't bad in themselves, but when the mechanics of a point and click game are this poorly designed for players, they become more of a crutch than a nice feature.”
