If you like the old style games where you don't get much help, this is the game for you. I am obsessed with it. I managed to get further into it then I thought I would. I am determined to finish it. I really love it. Thank you to the developers.
I recommend this game!

Gave it 4 stars because it is a slow moving game. It definitely is challenging. Old school game where you have to figure it out for yourself most of the time.

Gave it 4 stars because it is a slow moving game. It definitely is challenging. Old school game where you have to figure it out for yourself most of the time. The hint only works to give you what you need to do in the area you are currently in. Once I figured out how to move around and find things or find your next step it did get easier. Figuring out how to use the map to move around helped. No penalty for multiple clicks. If you select an item it will only tell you that you need something else to make an item work but not what you need. No plus markers if you have to add two things together to make it work. So I will recommend the game. It is a challenge but for those of us who are used to the old games it is a treat. Show less

I was really enjoying this game. Something new and different, Finally. Then (still in the beginning of the game) I came across a ladder that needs to be repaired. I did that and now I cannot pick it up out of my inventory to use it. Cannot move on.
Bummer. Wanted to finish this game. Would have been a buy for me.

This software is rather buggy. I had to restart twice as a new player twice when necessary objects disappeared from inventory. I was able to finish the game as the third player. It is old school with little help available but it is compelling somehow.
I recommend this game!

I hate being beaten by anything, BUT am now tired of the box under the bed. I stare so hard at the paper with the clock hands, but logic just doesn't work. I must have tried over 40 possible configs but am close to giving up, as the game wasn't that good anyway. Still, can someone tell me the code, please?
I don't recommend this game.

I bought the game because I like adventure games, especially the older ones. The story is interesting. I personally found the game not very challenging (compared to other games I use to play). After about 2 hours of playing I completed the entire game. That was disappointing.

I was so convinced I would love this game I purchased it before the demo was up! Then right afterwards, the game froze in a scene where I had to pick up a couple of cups and something else. I tried everything, but sadly it won't progress. Hopefully they will issue a patch and I can play it!
I gave it 3 stars for the 30 minutes I was actually able to play the game. Everything else gets 5 stars
I don't recommend this game.

I agree with the previous review. Unless you like a game that gives you no help this game is definitely not for you. I couldn't get past the first scene and though I was half persistent even the hint kept taking back to an previous thing.
I don't recommend this game.
