This game got pretty bad reviews, which I don't think are merited. It was fun to play, had good visual and sound quality, and there were the usual number of hidden object puzzles.
The play time was not noticeably less than other Madhead games.
This game is a lot of fun to play. The plot is good, interesting, and challenging. One moves through the story without distraction. I wish it were longer, and that a sequel was already available. I can't wait to play the next one. It reminds me of the Gabriel Knight Series, dark, mysterious, and very entertaining.
