I gave it a thumbs up, BUT: You have to LOVE very hard puzzle games and a ton of backtracking. You will need to draw a map of each chapter and where each and every puzzle is located because this game doesn't seem to naturally flow and it's easy to forget where everything is located. (Did I mention a ton of backtracking?) Some of the puzzles seem So Far Fetched that even after you look at a walk-through, you still find yourself saying: "WTF"? I think you HAVE to be a real puzzle hound to enjoy this work. When creating any kind of game, there is this fine line between too easy and too hard that is the sweet spot that makes the game enjoyable for most. aka Portal, etc. This game didn't even try to hit that sweet spot. They just went for Hard As #hit.<<<Now, that has it's rewards amongst the die-hard puzzle fans but it will 'probably' turn most people off. [spoiler] One example of Ridiculous is that when you finish Chapter 4, the next Chapter is 8...WHAT? You spend a countless amount of Wasted Time trying to figure out what you did wrong. However, You didn't do anything wrong, the developers just added more confusing ridiculous nonsense to make the game that much less enjoyable. [/spoiler] The audio and graphics are just fine and run smooth as silk and just about everything is mouse controlled which is a plus. You can take pictures or snapshots whenever you want and these scenes are stored in a folder that you Always Have With You.<<<Extremely helpful! The game also remembers where you are when you exit so you don't have to save and load. I think that if I'd paid more than 7 bucks for this game WITHOUT a large red banner that proclaimed it VERY HARD and ABSURD at times, I would have felt cheated. That said, IF you are one of those puzzle fanatics that just love complicated and sometimes irrational puzzles and a ton of backtracking, go ahead and pay the 14 dollars. BUT, if you aren't that intense, I'd say 6 or 7 bucks is fair because some of the puzzles are hard but make sense and seem to naturally flow which will give you that Aw-Ha moment. And for the other puzzles that are off-the-hook borderline ridiculous, there is always a walkthrough.

Je recommande uniquement aux passionnés inconditionnels de puzzles. Le début du jeu est sympa, les puzzles ne sont pas trop durs, on prend plaisir à prendre les indices en photo pour les utiliser ensuite, et l'histoire est prenante. Et puis les puzzles deviennent plus compliqués (normal) mais aussi malheureusement plus fastidieux, au point que ça en devient pénible. Par exemple on doit taper de longs codes en jonglant entre plusieurs photos d'indices, et la navigation entre les photos n'est pas très pratique; on doit aussi à un moment faire pas mal d'allers-retours pesants. Quant à l'histoire, elle se termine en queue de poisson, quelle déception ! L'aide (soluce) incorporée au jeu est bien pratique... sauf quand elle ne l'est pas ! J'ai dû finir le jeu avec une soluce en ligne (alors que souvent une simple image aurait tellement allégé mes souffrances) En bref, j'ai eu plaisir à y jouer les premières heures, avant que ça devienne pénible et qu'il me tarde que ça finisse...

Highly recommended for point & click adventure enthusiasts (classic Myst, Fidelio Incident, Haven Moon, Palindrome Syndrome, etc.). Very well executed with interesting storyline. Puzzles are not too complex, mostly logical and blend with the story. Great integrated hint system if needed - provides several hints and then solution if desired. Good inventory system including the ability to combine items, and a fantastic camera capability that offers the ability to superimpose an image from the photo library on the main screen for reference - can even rotate the image and zoom - well done - I wish all point & clicks had that feature. Excellent value for the investment - good length - many chapters. Reading the computer files was a bit tedious and didn't seem necessary to solve puzzles or advance, but did provide good context for the story. Speeding up the rate (maybe from 300 baud to 9600 baud?) would be welcome. This story concept offers a lot of opportunity for sequels or parallel stories. All in all, if you enjoy point and click adventures, I highly recommend it. Great job Glitch Games! Keep them coming!

I loved the puzzle and exploration aspects, although I feel the game got really slow and the puzzles simpler towards the end. Really was hoping for a longer game, too. Only 7 hours of gameplay, and that was with dozing off during the last chapter. If you're looking for a quick puzzle game, this is it! If you're looking for a longer term game, maybe look elsewhere.

its the best game ive ever played!

Bardzo przyjemna logiczna przygodówka dla wielbicieli point and click i klimatycznych gier. Zagadki nie są bardzo trudne, fabuła jest interesująca. Przyjemnie spędzony czas.

The game was good and well at first until it crashed in the last chapter and refused to start working ever again afterwards.
