Is it still worth playing?

Based on the 1989 novel of the same name, this 2017 episodic point and click adventure released its three books between August 2017 and March 2018. The player controls one of three main characters across highly detailed backgrounds, almost entirely with the mouse. Holding the left button over an object or character brings up a menu with look, talk and use, and holding the space bar highlights the interactive parts of the world. The right button opens an inventory, where gathered items can be used in the world or combined with others to solve puzzles. Real-time minigames have characters interacting with their surroundings. A story told in three books is still a good fit for a patient player.
