This was the first adventure game I ever played, back in the 90's. I was very frustrated at first, because I kept being arrested as I didn't know what to do with the cadaver. At that time there were no walkthroughs or anything like that on the internet but I kept going and didn't regret it! I have been looking to buy it again for years and was very happy to see it on BFG.
I love he way the animation is done with real actors, I love the art deco graphics, the music is marvelous and the level of challenge is perfect for me. I could play for hours and hours and never get bored. Also as I am French I enjoyed the fact of playing a really good game in my own language.
There is action, there are slower moments that give you time to think of what to do next and I found it rewarding to succeed without any clues or hints.
This is really the kind of game I love and I wish there would be more like this one. If you like to sit back, relax and enjoy a good adventure game that has nothing do to with ghosts, haunted mansions, music that drives you nut or unsolvable puzzles without a walkthrough, this one is for you. Keep going at it though, don't quit after half an hour!
