I wanted very much for this to click but it just never did. The puzzles were interesting for about an hour, and the story just never grabbed me.
I find Zeboyd's evolution interesting. Mechanically, this plays somewhere between Cthulhu Saves the World and This Way Madness Lies, and I'm not sure how I feel about that. The Insanity skills certainly make for an interesting combat experience, but I can't say for sure whether it makes for a better one. I will say that I never felt the need to spam the rest moves to reset them, so that's a plus. The story is fantastic.
The only real negative is that the soundtrack overused Carol of the Bells. I am barely aware of the music in games most of the time, and I thought it was too much.
Gave it another try, got a dozen or so hours in, and man, I just cannot enjoy the gameplay. The story's great. It's the only thing that kept me going. But at this point, wanting to know what happens next isn't enough to keep me dealing with boring at best gameplay. Youtube it is.
