About the Game
==============
**What am I in for?**
---------------------
Welcome to the world of Endacopia! You're in for a surreal Point and Click Adventure full of unsolved mysteries, abstract puzzles, hostile monsters, and horrors that lurk in the shadows... if tampered with, of course. You'll be guiding a young boy named Mellow who has lost all his senses in an attempt to escape an uncomfortable home.
**What do I do?**
-----------------
First and foremost, you'll need a functional keyboard and mouse to play this game. Once you've taken care of that, prepare yourself to use your brain for the following scenarios:  
*   Decide which area to explore next in whichever order you'd like.  
*   Use Mellow's bare fists to block, dodge, and punch monsters in first person perspective.  
*   Have conversations with strange individuals who may or may not help you on your quests.  
*   Fill your pockets with tools, toys, gadgets, and trash.  
*   Try your luck at a variety of mini-games.  
*   Gaze at an abundance of animated background gags.  
*   Uncover disturbing secrets that were probably better left hidden.

Feature extractions:
- Community Price:
  - Community fair range: $10.00 - $16.50
  - Reasoning: Most reviews affirm the game is worth its current price of $16.50, with one reviewer explicitly willing to pay full price. However, a negative review characterizes the price as 'very expensive,' indicating some players find it too high, which suggests a lower price point would be more broadly acceptable. Combining these sentiments, the community considers a fair base-game price range between approximately $10 and $16.50, with $16.50 as the upper limit of acceptability.
- Playtime Metrics:
  - Game completion: N/A
  - Story completion: 6.0h
  - Session length: 5.7h
  - Endgame: N/A
  - Reasoning: The evidence provides several explicit playtime reports: one player beat the game in a single 5.7-hour session, while others state '6 hours' or 'around 6 hours' to beat the game. This consistently supports a story completion time of about 6 hours. The 5.7-hour session is the clearest indicator of a typical session length. No evidence supports full 100% game completion time (e.g., all endings or secrets) or dedicated endgame hours, so those fields are set to null.
