   Most of the time you are running around and finding items or completing puzzles. The story is good and so are the music and voice acting. At times it may feel like you are just playing through a filler, which is probably my only complaint about the game. It also feels a bit unrewarding to finish the game because it feels like the story has barely started. I bought this game in a bundle with the second one so I could just jump into the second game immediately and it felt like a smooth continuation, but I can imagine it feeling unrewarding to finish the first game if you don't already have the second one.… Expand

Graphics are a little bit enhanced for this port (character models and shadows) and get the job done, but backgrounds are ugly to look at while docked in the TV. In portable mode, the game looks way better and touch screen controls great.
   Story and sound (even voice acting) stays top notch.
   The worst thing? it's price… Expand

   A classic point and click adventure with some beautifully designed environments that does show it’s age. The gameplay mechanics are prettyA classic point and click adventure with some beautifully designed environments that does show it’s age. The gameplay mechanics are pretty much outdated. Think a crossover between King’s Quest and Myst. You have to be a really patient person to enjoy it because of slow progression and constant backtracking. Regular walking speed is also very slow but luckily there is a button to run a bit faster. The story, characters and pre-rendered single image environments are the best part of the game. The gameplay not so much. If you you can handle the clunkiness and it’s slow pace then there’s a great story with plenty of atmosphere and charm to be found. Sokal is an excellent graphic novel artist and for the time the gameplay was fine too. But time has moved on and so has game design… Expand

   You will find only essential and very simple interactions making the whole game feel empty. You will find yourself running in big, static, prerendered scenarios trying to solve trivial pretestuos puzzles only to fill the gap between the first part of the story and the last one, because all that is in between feels useless.
   The voice acting and the music is not bad.… Expand

The story keeps alive the feeling of mystery that we used to have when we were kids, when it was possible to believe there may be a mysterious land full of adventure hidden somewhere deep in Siberia. In that way, it’s a great game. The writing carries it.
   
   But it’s a very old game, and it has not aged well. It was made for a large screen, and if you’re playing handheld (like my wife and I did), some objects on the ground are almost impossible to see, so at some points you’l have to use a walkthrough because you won’t know that you won’t know something. In addition, some dialogues and written pieces are painfully long. This was more common back in the day, but today, it sticks out.
   
   All in all, we had a positive experience, but I don’t think I would recommend this game to anyone else. It takes too long to sift through the foibles of its age, and the competition with other similar games has grown too stiff.… Expand

Taking in to account how old this game is - it’s still very, very, poorly designed. The story is great. Voice acting good. Artwork pretty good for the time. But the game design and puzzles are absolutely atrocious. I can’t count how many times I entered a screen just to end up running back to the same screen I just left because of poor directional design on travel. The puzzles are all stupid easy, or stupidly difficult because they poorly to communicated a basic premise - at best they are “go fetch” puzzles. And don’t get me started on hidden areas, I often had to run in all possible directions of every, single, area screen to find the next place to visit.… Expand
