    If the game is good or not depends on your perspective and on what you were expecting from it. I was expecting an interactive storytelling game with some few simple puzzles and this is exactly what I got.

    Unfortunately the game-play leaves little to be desired after the first half hour of game-play, sure the visuals are okay, but it's not enough nor quality enough to keep you entranced enough to distract you from how much walking there is to do in this game.

    But ultimately, the story just isn't that good of a pay off for the amount of time taken to tell it.

The jumping puzzles are generally okay, except on a level where it hard to tell what surface will kill you; bye bye no-death achievement. The story is interesting enough that kept me going, but has little replay value besides going for the remaining achievements. Full Review »
