    Indeed, A Quiet Weekend exhibits not only two of the hallmarks of fine adventure titles—story accompanied by relevant puzzles—but also adds the unusual component of a real place that can even simply be toured, if you wish!

    The game itself is a delight. It is comparable to "Myst" in that it uses a sideshow technique to further movement.

    Go where you want, explore and reflect. If quiet roaming, looking and pondering is your thing, you will not be disappointed.

    The gameplay is not involving, and most players will not finish this game, as there simply isn't any incentive or payoff to do so.

    I really wanted to like this game, but its repetitiveness and frustration make it an island to skip. [July 2004, p.69]

    An incredible success in virtual tourism — truly brings the island of Capri to life, allowing the user to wander a real-life location at will. Far less successful as a coherent, playable game.

    Rang[es] from boring to silly to confusing, with only the odd moment of interest to keep you trudging along.
