• A beautifully crafted cartoonish visual style, rich with humor and personality
• Incredible items able to influence gravity and grab, swing and throw objects to solve puzzles or get rid of enemies
• A groovy soundtrack composed by Markus “Captain” Kaarlonen from Poets of the Fall, mixing southern rock/blues and 80′s inspired electronic music
• The legendary performance of Jon St. John as the voice of protagonist John Rochard
