It reads well and its a really interesting take on the time-loop plot. The game really does feel like one of those old sierra point and click games in that mistakes and consequences can be abrupt and brutal, which I liked, but also in that there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason behind which choices are correct, which I found annoying. The main character is not very bright and mostly stumbles bass-ackward through her challenges, which in some places is relatable and endearing and in others is infuriating. The denouement was kind of abrupt and I cannot figure out how the route that "most players" take was supposed to have worked.

This is a re-read of a book I read as a teen to see if it still held up. Honestly surprised at how much I still enjoyed it. I had forgotten many of the details but that meant I had a fun time rediscovering all the hijinks.
