The real review

Most people are having a blast with this weird, meta point-and-click adventure from Draw Me A Pixel. The "grab, pull, and release" gameplay is getting praised as a clever twist on the genre, and the humorous, time-travel story with Sherlock and Watson is landing perfectly. The catch is the PC port, which is a mess — performance issues, crashes, and a lack of patches are the main complaints, especially for anyone trying to play it on Steam Deck or stream it on Twitch. It's a fantastic, creative game trapped in a broken wrapper right now.
