Is it still worth playing?

A mutant from a failed Prodigy Child Program, dumped alone in an abandoned post Soviet town to grow up, digs into his past in this 2017 point and click adventure for PC by Jacob Janerka. Most puzzles are solved with the inventory, which works by drag and drop, and some are small arcade games on pixelated screens. You talk to the town's characters through dialogue trees, and a postcard map takes you between locations quickly. Hints are optional, in what the game calls Cutie Tumour Chats. It is still easy to play today: the postcard map cuts out the walking between places, and the hints only come when you ask for them.
