    Another day, another freebie. I really was hoping somebody else would
    announce this one though, since I'm not excited about it at all. Oh
    well, beggars can't be choosers

    I admit it; the main reason I dislike this one
    is the art style. It's got a primitive, almost
    surreal style similar to... oh, what's the cartoon
    called? "Adventure Time"; that's it. I really
    dislike it. Sure, it's judging a book by its cover,
    but video games are a visual medium and if the
    visuals are displeasing it's going to have a huge
    effect on my opinion on the rest of the game. Which
    is, apparently, a fairly standard -if charming and
    goofy- point-n-click adventure. I'm sure it's fine;
    it's just not for _me_. Maybe you'll like it more?



    You've got two days to decide. It's free on GOG until then.
