Who's played Darkestville Castle?

I finished the game. Many of the puzzles felt repetitive (fetch three ingredients to do X) and at least one puzzle seemed to consist of randomly clicking everything. It’s also a bit heavy on the red herrings. The game threw in several straight-up Monkey Island references which felt more forced than funny, and the final boss fight was also directly taken from Monkey Island.

I thought the game started to come into its own better around Act 2. It’s not a must-play, but it’s charming with its flaws.
