“One of the best point-and-click adventure games ever. The Director's Cut is not the best version of the game, but it is okay. Story: 10/10 Gameplay: 10/10 Graphics: 10/10 Music: 9/10”
— a player, Steam review · 22 hrs played“The original game has such a special place in my heart, and it's still good to go back to, even in all its 90s jank. <3 The remaster still keeps a lot of it there, and it adds more to Nico's story.”
— a player, Steam review · 7 hrs played“I freaking love this game its very nostalgic and the plot really pulls you in. I used to play this game with my father ten years ago and I'm so happy I was able to find it again. This is the best click and point game in my opinion”
