Looney4Labs introduces herself to the engagingly persistent Professor Samuel Hunt as he roams the graceful streets of Toledo. She learns a story of lovers parted, discovers varied, complex puzzles, and tries her hand at a centuries-old game called Alquerque.

My copy arrived a few days ago, and I'm really looking forward to it. I happen to be one of those "...who like to meander and ponder. It’s a game to be savored slowly." thumbsup

Thanks looney4labs, for an interesting review. I loved the first three episodes but glad to see no mention of lemurs! I usually favour third person perspective so like the idea of the character being seen in reflections here & there as used in at least the 1st game. smile

Thanks guys for the kind words.

For those of you worried about this game making you sick, I think this might be a good one for you. It panned rather slowly (at least that was how I felt) Sometimes those interfaces can make me sick, but this one did not bother me at all wave puppy
