I must admit I started not to buy this game because of the bad reviews....but I am glad I did. The negative reviews of this game are warranted mind you I just thought the good outweighed the bad. It got off to a rocky start. You are left floundering around wondering what the heck you are suppose to do in the office, and then in the library I admit I almost quit because of those darn panels LOL! But after that when you open the box and get to the pyramid you are able to settle down and really play the game. I know a lot of people gave up way before then LOL, and that's a shame. The puzzles could have been a little harder but the fact that you get no help makes them a little more challenging.
One complaintnt I did have was with the ending.......you didn't know it was the ending untill the credits started rolling. I guess they are leaving it open for a "Drawn" like series. Anyhoo.....If you like to figure out where, what, how, on your own without the traditional little sparkles leading you around , this game is for you.
OMG! this game is terrible! hidden object after hidden object scenes with no relief in sight save for some easy puzzles any 5th grader could solve. The HOs were so small and so hard to find, I had to resort to using a magnifying glass LOL! I forced myself to play the game in one sitting so that I could delete this game from my PC and my memory!
