Mori_Yuki: Add. Here is my
playthrough May help those not willing to install Steam getting an impression of the game.
ReynardFox: Ok, I think I know why you found the dialogue boring and not funny, and I agree, that was actually a bit of a slog to watch, but thanks for the upload.
I think the problem is twofold, the actual script is not great, it's pretty dry and dialogues are often too verbose for what they are saying, and the delivery from the actors is... inconsistent at best. Most of the cast (but especially the protagonist who perpetually sounds like someone who just got out of bed) draw out already too wordy lines, too slowly, with frequent small pauses and over-emphasizing of syllables, sounding lethargic and detached, more like they're reading a speech to a crowd first thing in the morning than characters naturally emoting or conversing.
When you combine lackadaisical acting with lots of dry dialogue... the whole thing just becomes tiresome.
Yes. It's too wordy. The main problem is that you are able to click thru dialogs and miss some important information. There are also scenes you can't skip, the one where his secretary leaves the room to open a parcel containing seeds while he stands around in his office doing nothing, for one. That's the little things I really don't like to see in any adventure.
I think it could be funny if there was some sort of connection to, or familiarity with, characters or the setting. A reference to other funny line or reference to some well known lighthearted adventures doesn't do very much to make itself anymore fun to play or any funnier when it isn't.
