Though this isn't really my kind of role playing adventure, it sparked a little interest for me to try it out. It takes place in a weird setting where your character belongs to a circus team, traveling all over the place. Characters are immensely interesting and very well drawn.

Colors are extreme vibrant, so players won't really find it boring. One of the best highlights is the movie cut scenes. They look so real, compared to other cheap 2D games i've played.

Items can be picked up along the way, and are useful for the journey ahead. There's still a lot of ambiguity in the story development, so far for me. Just leaving the circus boy's daily life, is equally terrible and sympathetic.

If you like the Monkey Island series, you should definitely give this a try. I'll probably rate this game a 7.0, for the artistic and innovative storyline they've created. This game would take loads of time if you bothered to explore every tangible visual item you see on screen.

Cheers, guys.
