I am playing a game right now--- a new one- and I must say - first- I like the story- I am enjoying the puzzle part of the game- but I am walking- and walking- thru tunnels- down stairs over and over-- After just completing games where you walked somewhere one and then you were given the option to click on the area to go back- I just don't know why newer games don't do something like this- or at least have the person be able to run. It makes a great game good. Sorry-- had to vent

I've played several games like that recently--the most recent one was Evil Under the Sun. I'm with you, Marian, after you've been to an area once, I like some sort of arrangement to get you there quickly--a map is a good way to do it...

I know what you all mean. I played two chapters of this game, and the absolutely endless wandering back and forth was so frustrating that I just couldn't take any more of it, with or without a walkthrough. (It was mostly "with". I did not have a happy time.) I uninstalled it.

The walking was the part that made me throw in the towel a few times in this game. I no longer cared to solve a few of the puzzles because I felt like I just wandered the same ground over and over in order to find out what has changed. I loved the game, it was funny and original, but I do hope that if that make another they will cut back on the senseless wanderings. Ana

HI Winfrey... I feel your pain...This game does have most of it...I can't say all. I can say only what it doesn't have...Speed.. I hate wandering, I hate having to look in dark areas..being I am half blind to begin with.. Oh well....Worth $ 40.00.. Noway My Opinion

Also the puzzles were Child's- Play....The game was base on basic knowledge....there wasn't one puzzle were the average person couldn't solve... A lot of the game depended on doing certain things you had to find or place to get a result.. But I really have to give the Graphics 100 plus ...Story line 100 plus...

so many things in limbo.....sometimes you just felt....well, lost........amongst clever storylines, plot twists and devil-if- I-can-find them clues. hmmm...humorous dialogs, and wonderfully macabre storyline and characters; The title is apt.too?? What to think.! hmmmmm; the wandering, so unsuusal in adventure games....it is just so....not perfect. In some ways, our criticisms become us. I liked it.
