A fantastic point and click adventure that's not without its flaws.

Good
+Excellent voice work from all the characters.
+I really like the 3 different personality paths you can do and how that alters what abilities you get on day 2 and 3.
+Valter is hilarious!
+Certain quests can be solved slightly differently, such as how you go about getting past a fingerprint scanner.
+I especially like how the majority of puzzles use logic and reasoning with clearly defined hints and ways of beating them.
+There are no soft locks if you fail to get a certain item before a certain area (looking at you King's Quest 6!).

Neutral
+-The story is kind of meh. It's enough to draw you in, but doesn't really leave you satisfied by the end.
+-I wish it was longer with more things to do and more ways to interact with the people and environment for unique reactions.

Bad
-As cool as the idea of the personality paths are, it actually doesn't really change much in the game. You get different abilities to solve the same puzzle slightly differently and that's it. The real problem is that these unique abilities can ONLY be used for puzzles. With a certain personality path you get the ability Energize which can bring machinery to life. It even shows this to you by activating a little robot in your room. Unfortunately you can't use it on any other robots in the game such as the ones in Valter's shop. It would've been so cool if you could use these abilities outside of puzzles to find secrets and funny reactions.
-Some parts of the story don't really make much sense, with motivations a little hazy. Can't go into details without spoilers.
-The biometric analyzer is a cool idea that is used less than 5 times in the whole game, and I was diligent in having it on for every conversation and topic. It should've been used more even if it didn't further the plot or puzzles.

Overall this PnC game is definitely worth it, especially on sale.
