Beautiful satire that shows very well how a communist/socialist country really works out to be in the practice (that comes from an ArgentineBeautiful satire that shows very well how a communist/socialist country really works out to be in the practice (that comes from an Argentine whose country is plagued by socialism, which is basically the game but replacing the almighty leader with politicians in general). The protagonist is pretty charming and the plot itself is incredibly well put-together so that if you pay attention you can see what's going on from an early stage of the game.The only flaw I see is duration, I would've liked to have experienced more of this game's awesomeness

It could be much more. The adventure has the technical foundation to be great but it falls short at achieving anything more than an "ok,It could be much more. The adventure has the technical foundation to be great but it falls short at achieving anything more than an "ok, playable". The main problem with the game is that nothing is spectacular, expect maybe the design of the art and the outline of the story. The puzzles are either extremely easy or uninteresting (and a couple are kinda nonsensical if the in-game help system isn't used), the characters are usually boring and banal with their dialogues and monologue being often extremely predictable and the details of the story not that great, for the most part at least.In general, all in all, the game is "just ok", nothing is totally terrible, nothing is totally great (expect maybe the aesthetics of the art and the big picture of the story) but for the most part it's mediocre for what a great adventure really needs: great story details, great characters, great puzzles, a captivating story.Would I recommend. MAYBE to die-hard adventure game fans but it's definitely not a great game to introduce someone else to point and click games.
