Thanks, Ana. I am reading that this game comes to us from the same developers who brought us Ghost Towns: The Cats of Ulthar (a game I haven't played yet). I'm looking forward to checking out the demo and hearing what others have to say about the game.

THis game is an entirely different style than The Cats of Ulthar and it is very long (The CE portion is well worth the price of admission)!

There is a nice mix of puzzles and the game is well polished.

Played 15 min of the demo and really like the game but way to many HO for me. In 15 min I got five HO. if you like a lot of HO than this is the game for you. Hints recharge fast.
Your not penalized for over clicking I like that.

Thank you for that information, Ana and Richard.

A lengthy CE is always very appealing to me, Ana!

THere are not that many really Richard. There are 33 in the whole game and that includes the CE portion. Given the length of the game, that'snot too bad. If you continue on, you'll see that there lots to do in between.

I remember not liking Cats of Ulthar, never even bought it after the trial.... However, this game is wonderful! I am having a lot of fun playing it. I even put Puppet Show on hold to play this one.I'm on the ship now. Very good game.

Glad to see reviews from fellow GB's. I wasn't sure about this one. From playing just 15-20 mins. of demo I thought it was a little rough around the edges and too predictable. But as is often the case, this may be one that starts out simple and keeps getting better. Will probably buy after I'm done with the latest "Puppet Show".

thracia, glad you are enjoying it. Sparkle, I thought it had some unique ways of doing things and was a fun game. I don't remember if I thought it started slow, but I know I thought it was a well made fun game.

Oh my gosh! I can't believe I had doubts about this game. It's absolutely excellent in every respect. Well worth the CE price. Long game, challenging, nice balance of HO and adventure aspect, good story, well done graphics.

Just finished the game. I really enjoyed it. Kept my interest for the whole game (I am easily distracted, by other games

).
