I played part of the demo and my instant gripe was being preached at.
I don't like it.

From the part of it I did play, I imagine your review is right on, flotsam.

I still have the demo o my desk top as I still have not been able to get the small trap door open next to apartment where I hear the conversations. If I start out needing help with just a small part of the game I don't know if there is much help continuing. I may still buy it but I am on the fence.

Lexxy,
I think that's a tricky part of the game.

If you check this video at around 14min 15sec into it, you can see how you're expected to wrestle with the trap door.

For being an episode game, this game is fantastic...It is a long game for the first part of an episode and has all kinds of puzzles and a great story to follow also. It also leaves you wanting more and the storyline you can tell is going to take a major twist...this is an excellent game

Thanks for the review, Jenny and flotsam. thumbsup An enjoyable game so far, and I think that the review is fair and accurate. Looking forward to the sequel if there is one.
