The idea of a game, at least IMHO, is that you play it. Here you watch a text feed and every half dozen comments or so you're allowed to choose one of two questions. Then, when Taylor goes out to do something you sit there and watch the screen say "Taylor is busy". It's good one of us is, because I'm not doing anything. I'm impressed with anyone who lasts more than 5 minutes, or sorry for you, I'm not sure which. There is nothing good I can say about this game as I saw it, only that it might have been a good premise that failed in execution.
I don't recommend this game.

Very old feeling game. No real story, no instructions, no idea of what to do unless you happen to click on a spot that brings up a comment from your player. The only challenge of this game was to get the object assembly pictures to stay open long enough to put the parts into them. Very much a pixel hunting type of game, but the pixels weren't even where you expected. Pretty lame, especially taking only 25 min to finish the demo including all of the non-skippable "dialog". Story might have been of interest in other hands.
I don't recommend this game.
Once upon a time in the small, undistinguished town of Silentville people started disappearing. Help uncover the mystery behind these disappearances and save the town from a curse!

Very quirky game design compared to the standard we've seen lately, but that just made it more enjoyable for me. Ran much better on my computer than a lot of games, no floating cursor or any technical problems after 1 hr trial and minimal translation bloopers. I do agree with the comments about the sound of the doors opening all the time and then having to click to go through being annoying, but that's minor. What's great about this game are the ingenious H0 scenes which combine some FROG and IHOG elements to really make you think, not just blindly look for their particular picture of a mushroom or whatever. (Having to pay for the gas to turn on the stove was a great one and totally unexpected.) Yes, the cut scenes are sketches, not live action or animated, but that gave an old-world, out of the past feeling that went nicely with the game. Love this one enough to pay full price. Now I just have to find another one to get the 2-fer. Absolutely recommend to anyone wanting something out of the ordinary without the usual death, dungeons and disease themes.
I recommend this game!
