Although I love adventure games this game never really appealed to me
when I was looking at screenshots. It took me years to eventually break
down and buy it and I did it based on the critical acclaim it was
getting on this site mainly and I seriously can't see what is so great
about it.
The graphics look good when everything is static but once you start
moving everything falls apart. This game surely has some of the worst
animations ever made, specifically the walking animation. And even
worse is that you actually need to watch that walking animation over
and over again because unlike in most adventure games there is no way
to 'skip to the next screen'. That means that if you want to walk from
one side of the level to the other you need to walk all the way there
and it very often takes forever. I know that adventure games are
passive games by default but this goes too far. The music does the
trick but the voice acting is very subpar, especially the main
character which is unfortunate since you hear him talk so often. The
game is overall pretty easy too and it does contain some myst-like
puzzles which I hate but it doesn't overdose on them. Overall, a pretty
average adventure game.
