    The story develops nicely as your investigation proceeds and the puzzles provide the right amount of challenge to keep you actively engaged without blocking your progress for too long.

    A so-so to bad adventure game. There isn't anything special about the game itself, and the writing quality knocks it down a few pegs from there. But it's also harmless and it's playable and it's inexpensive, so it's not the worst way in the world to spend a rainy weekend.

    This point-and-click adventure should have stayed in Italy. [July 2006, p.99]

    Some reviewer don't love adventure so why you have to review an advenuture game? Strange people in a strange world.

    Yes, bad dialogue and cheesy translation, but the music is marvelous and doesn't jerk as you go from room to room and the environment is well created. Most importantly, the puzzles are logical and it is nice that you don't pick up things you need to use until you have a reason to use them, it isn't just a Monty Haul grab what you can and stick the marzipan in the cats ear to get rid of the dog scene. I have a high IQ and I like a game that gives me a chance to think logically and not just to click away like a tech-savvy red-neck. Bring back adventure gaming!… Expand
