What I'm saying is that there doesn't appear to be much in the way of animation. The drawings are too detailed to be fully articulate sprites. Plus, I dunno, I'm just turned off by the style (and the fact that it's essentially a collection of spatial thinking SAT-style puzzles with a story).

Adventure games have had quite realistic animation of facial movement and motion for nearly a decade, now, even if the basic design is still a cariacture of a person. I mean, the way mouths, brows, cheeks, and all the other muscles moves fits the speech. 5-frame sprite animations were left behind a loooooooooong time ago on the PC, and it's quite possible this might use the same techniques.
If not, I'd be disappointed.
The FMV's got some nice cel-painted color, too, even if the main game is obviously CG, I like that.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
