The game overall has a pretty good difficulty curve, with chapters becoming increasingly more difficult (save for the last, which is astoundingly easy) at a gradual pace - though often times the puzzles can be more annoying than difficult.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Lovely lush detailed painted backdrops, wisecracking characters, a spooky story involving Caribbean curses, and lots of brain-tickling inventory item puzzles.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.

Quality of Life - Other than not having an overwrite option for saved games, Foolish Mortals is extremely “user friendly”.
