Hi LEEANA -- I did the intro in this post, but flotsam is the author of this review. (Well, okay, the Editor's Note was me. :grinch:)

It sounds like Silvie is quite a gal -- I'm looking forward to playing the game in the near future. :thumbsup12:

After reading the review I'm even more excited to play the game.
Thanks smile

Alas, I'm still waiting for my game from Interact. Seems it got lost on it's way here...
Was shipped 17th nov. - but Dave told me he would send a replacement today. What a nice man smile

Thanks Flotsam, always a pleasure to read. I'll be interested to hear if people feel this is very much like or different than Art of Murder.

Nickie, the story is real different compared to Art of Murder. The game play has similarities with AOM, but the puzzles are better and cleverer. The graphics are also a lot better.

Very good review and the editor's note gave me a laugh. Funny how much the perspective on social behaviors may differ from person to person. smile
