From watching the trailer of this game I was absolutely fascinated by its art and animations, because it's so obscure and strange. It's like an absurdist parody, and I'm totally into absurdist and making fun of things so it was an interesting first play. Naturally, when it comes to point and click adventures I'm pretty slow. I'm an explorer so I like to click and explore every single aspect of the game. I want to pick up every object, go into every door, talk to every person and exhaust every dialogue option. My first 30 min play through pretty much consisted of that and I left off at discovering and talking to the fisherman. I completed the envy task and was in the process of trying to figure out what to do with the fruit in my inventory that i stole from an old woman and trying to figure out the riddle from the weird guy in the clerics office so i can help the legal guy scam this family who just inherited a bunch of money. The game is smart because doing the riddles I thought I could make a guess, and if it was wrong just keep guessing till i got it right (only noticed the first couple of answers thinking i would eventually get it) BUT not only are there a ridiculous amount of answers, but there's a ridiculous amount answers plus last names and stuff and its just insane. I thought that was a clever mechanic. Anyway, I'm entertained by the game thus far and am interested to see where it goes. I also like the whole 7 deadly sins theme. - Anneke
