This pencildrawn-style is perfectly awesome no matter that either if you actually did it by hand or in computers. I loved it even in Machinarium. 5\/5\t\r<br\/>Audio: no matter where did you get it, still fits to the game. Other sounds are also good. No reason to give less than the max. 5\/5\t\r<br\/>Humor: I can't see any of them in it. 1\/5\t\r<br\/>Mood: steampunk. With pencil graphics and violin music.
