A great game to play with a friend, some puzzles easier than others. One thing to note is that few if any of the puzzles are explained in any way, which means that you may have to figure out how to even do the puzzles - I don't mean how to solve the puzzle once you understand the mechanics, I mean understanding the mechanics in the first place - What to click, what's important etc.
Some of the achievements are dependant on which "side" of the puzzle you do, so you might get some more replay value of playing both sides

One thing I didn't like was the use of a voice server as opposed to peer-to-peer voice. It's understandable that the developers have chosen this path considering possible hassle or issues with port-forwarding and such, but I'd much prefer at least having the option to NOT sign the EULA for the voice service. It states that "if you choose to use voice communications" or something to that effect, which is ridiculous as it's built in, a core part of the game and there's no option to disable it. If you're very privacy-minded, you might want to simply use discord or steam voice instead and use windows 10 settings to not allow the game access to your mic.

With that being said, very much a great puzzle game, gave me and my buddy about 10-12 hours of enjoyment, confusion, a-ha (and sometimes "ah man I'm an idiot") moments. Some frustration aswell, but not really from anything the game did wrong aside from the above criticism. Definitively worth the price of 200 NOK (approx €20) I paid for it, when it was on a 20% sale. Probably worth it up to €25 as well, as one of the very few true co-op games made recently.

No, seriously, it'll ruin atleast part of the game for you.

The Octopus puzzle is very tricky if you're not great at making strange sounds (or describing them) with your friend. It might be worth checking out hint #2 on this one.

Only one can survive at the end :c

Excellent adventure game in the vein of the old Sierra / LucasArts titles. The hand-drawn artstyle lends itself nicely to this genre, and the silly things you inevitably end up trying give you some great results, just like it should be.

Aside from minor gripes (no doubleclicking an exit to run there / skip the walk animation), the UI is intuitive enough and works essentially how you'd expect it to; Crafting new items by drag-n-dropping one item onto another, clicking an item and then the cogwheel to use it without context (i.e. without using it -on- anything in particular).

While not the longest point-and-click adventure game I've played, it doesn't need to be. It's real strength is the story and characters, which are excellent.

I can wholeheartedly recommend this game to fans of the old adventure games, and I think it's especially suited for those who grew up with those games to play with their kids.
