Customer Reviews:

Not spectacular, but the pictures are pretty [Posted on 2008-04-03]
I have to agree with another reviewer and say that I can't believe this game was made in 2007. All of the scenes are still pictures, even the sequences where someone has a long dialogue they simply change photos during the scene, and sometimes the pictures don't actually line up with what is being said (some sequences seem to be a frame ahead or behind what the dialogue is) there is no real action other than perhaps something pops into the picture or water appears to ripple.

That said, the story line is interesting and the pictures are beautiful. If you're nostalgic for an old style adventure game and aren't looking for fantastic graphics then this might please you. Being able to use the map to jump from place to place is a definite plus I just wish there were more jump points because in some cases you still end up walking and walking through still photo after still photo.

Also, my game had a glitch in it and I had to upload a patch (I have windows XP, don't know if the game has problems with other operating systems or not). Once the patch was loaded the game worked well, didn't stall out on me or act up.

atrocious [Posted on 2008-04-08]
This is the worst PC game I have ever played. I'm very suspicious of the "reviewers" up here giving it 5 stars. Don't waste your money on this pile.

Hated It [Posted on 2008-04-20]
I did not like this game at all. I don't like communicating with still pictures. There is no direction for you to follow. You could wander around for a long time not knowing where to go and what to do. This is one of the worst games I have ever played.

Disappointing [Posted on 2008-05-06]
I'm up for a good adventure as the next person and I do enjoy exploring new and interesting places, but I'm afraid that this game leaves a great deal to be desired. While the pictures are pretty, it does nothing to help the fact that the directions are confusing and I was constantly getting stuck trying to figure out how to get to the next part. There are things you have to do that you have no idea to do them because it's never pointed out that you need to do it and there's no one to ask for hints or help. This is the only game I've ever had to find a walk through for and it left me feeling very disappointed in not only myself, but in the game. I do NOT recommend this game unless you like the feeling of frustration.

EVEN LOOKING AT THIS GAME IS WASTE OF TIME!! [Posted on 2008-06-15]
SERIOUSLY THAY MADE THIS 2007?!? COULD HAVE FOOLED ME! U WALK ENDLESSLY, TALK TO PEOPLE WHO SOUND COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THEN THEY APPEAR AND DO NOT SAY ANYTHING NEAR INTERESTING, AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO EVEN QUIT THE GAME WITHOUT PRESSING CTRL ALT DEL. IM GOING TO THROW THIS GAME IN THE GARBAGE AND ADVISE EVERYONE NOT TO DONATE ANYMORE MONEY TO THIS RIDICULOUS GAME COMPANY!
