I sadly did not finish it. I forced myself to get the first 3 flowers (the last one I accidentally got while moving from the monster), but when I found out there was more aimless searching to be done I gave up.
I liked the intro and the voice acting adds character, but I didn't feel that the fact Maverick was an animal influenced the story, Maverick could've just as well been your grandpa and the story (from what I've seen) would've still worked.
