Absolutely beautiful graphics though. I'm not sure a point-n-click is my thing anymore, but I'm still tempted to pick this up!
I reckon this game is too cute to be called "distopian" :DThe style is cute and there's plenty of humour to keep things from getting too oppressive, but the setting and the story justify that adjective. It's definitely not a future you'd want to live in.

As a backer and a beta-tester, I'd say that if you ever enjoyed old-school adventure games, you should definitely give this one a go. In a month when it finally comes out I mean. :)
