This game was such a treat because there was no HO. I hate HO and love adventure games with puzzles, so this game was fun. I'm sorry it is over and will play again when I've had time to forget it.
I recommend this game!

In spite of the negative reviews, I gave this game a try. I can put up with a lot, but I reached an impasse about 3/4 of the way through and the hint button led me to a place I could do nothing with what I had in inventory. I just had to keep searching and searching a limited area and did not find a way to progress. No strategy guide or walkthrough available, so I ended up stopped before the end. Very unsatisfying. Otherwise, I enjoyed how much it made me think, but in any game when I finally give in to using hints, I expect real help.
I don't recommend this game.

If you like one HO after another (I don't) and the few puzzles you encounter to be very easy, then you will like this game. If you hate HO and like challenging puzzles, don't buy this game. I only gave it three stars because as an HO game, it is at least three stars. As an adventure game I would give it a half star.
I don't recommend this game.

If you want way too many HO screens and easy puzzles, this is the game for you.
I don't recommend this game.

I liked the storyline, the graphics, and the objectives other than HO. I hated the HO screens and there were too many of them.
I don't recommend this game.

This game has so many good reviews, it doesn't really need mine, but this game was so much fun with such interesting puzzles. I'm not a big fan of HO, but I put up with them for the rest of these games labeled "Adventure." This game, however, did not have too many HO screens and the ones it has are interesting. I recommend this game for anyone, as long as they like puzzles.
I recommend this game!

This game is not overloaded with HO screens. There are lots of fun puzzles and interesting locations. This game has screens where you press a switch to change the screen back and forth like different times or dimensions. I love that. This game is decently long and very interesting.
I recommend this game!

I am so tired of HO games. I was thrilled when I found out this game is mostly all puzzles and no HO. You have to hunt for some objects but not in HO format. I gave it a high fun factor because of the puzzles and a high overall rating because of its lack of HO.
I recommend this game!
