A super premise that is both bonkers and brilliant
A quirky cool soundtrack and charismatic charm
Rather short
Umm.....Sissel?s dead bum in the air on the game?s cover is a noticeably unpleasant sight

Simple but very deep gameplay mechanics.
The new design of the characters and the scenery is simply a feast for the eyes.


Unique puzzles to enjoy.
The characters are full of character and life (even the dead ones!)
Catchy pieces in the original and re-recorded soundtrack.
Not a dull moment.
Mixing visual styles makes some images look neglected.


A very good scenario.
A convincing lifespan of 15 to 20 hours.
An original concept
A second life for a software shamefully snubbed in 2010.
A wacky and endearing character design
Rearranged music
Translated into French
An interest that is growing thanks to its story...
