This game has a LOT of dialogue, which really takes away from the pace of the game.
The storyline was ok, could've been better, which is a shame. There was a chance at an interesting story, but this game couldn't hold my interest to find out any more.
It seemed a little lacking.
I won't be buying this or even the SE when it comes out

I have to disagree with most about this game, I thought it was awful!
There was no direction, no flow, it seemed disjointed. I just couldn't get into it.
I'm not sure about the storyline, it really didn't seem to hold my interest...if they got around to explaining a little more, that might have helped, but just getting the tiniest snippets of a pretty big questions about the guys parents and what on earth was going on on the island...I'm sorry, it all made no sense. The lead character not even trying to find out more, well...it was so unbelievable.
I couldn't even last 20 minutes because I was wondering around aimlessly.
I think this game is dreadful!

I really like this game, it's very different from the norm because you flip to and fro into different dimensions. It's so different than any other games, it's great.
I scratch my head a lot with Secrets of the Dark games, but I love it...

I couldn't get into this game at all...I found it boring and pointless. The HOGS were difficult in that the picture was not clear, no real effort put into these, it was just made blurry to make it hard.
The puzzles were ok, some new ones which were pretty good, but all in all....not much to keep my interest.

I'm afraid I'm going against most of the reviews on this game. I did not like it at all. The graphics were pretty good, although a little glitchy, I saw my regular cursor arrow next to the interactive one, and when moving around the screen, the graphics bent, but apart from that...the graphics were alright.
The story was good, a little disturbing, but a bit different to what we're usually handed.
With all that, I just couldn't settle into this game. Half the time I was wondering what to do next, the game just didn't seem to flow, or make much sense as to what I was supposed to do.
I don't know, just something missing with this..it felt a bit disjointed.
Try the demo, you may just enjoy it...but for me, it's a no-buy

Although I've only played a little over half an hour in the demo, I'm pretty sure I'll be getting this game.
I love games where you have lots to do, and lots to remember. I just wish I didn't have to pay for the extras that I'm not interested in, like the screensavers, backgrounds, music, etc. If they offer a deluxe with the main game and bonus chapter, I'd jump at more of these games, but I now console myself with buying a game with things I'll never use...
I think this game is great, I think definitely try before you buy, it won't be to everyones liking.

I don't know, there just seemed to be something missing from this game. The story was alright, but the gameplay was a bit tedious.
One plus, the puzzles were a little bit different to the normal ones we get, so that was good.
Overall, just not enough to entice me to play on.

The story actually had something going for it, it was a shame about the game. The game, well...you get trapped into tutorial whether you want it or not, gameplay was a little dated, and it was quite frustrating trying to get things done.
It's a real shame too, because as stated above, the story seems to be interesting...but that wasn't enough for me..
