    Everyone around is talking about this abhorrent game as a "point & click" adventure, but, alas, it is not! This IS NOT a point & click adventure, this is an adventure game plagued by a terrible navigation, tons of glitches and infinite loading times whenever you open a door.

    This game can be very annoying at times! if you dont do a certain action, It wont let you go to the next scene. The graphics are 800x600 which is very bad for today standard. If this game was released a few years ago, it would of been ok. The music and sound is well done. but the voice over is very weak. If you dont mind the technical issuses with the game, then its ok.

    The beautifully detailed graphics make exploration a sheer pleasure and the music and ambient sounds combine well to heighten the sense of something evil waiting, patiently, watching your every move.

    Frustrating array of random pointing and clicking.

    It's true that the game has some real strengths, too, but the lousy voice-overs, clumsy writing, and glacial pace make it too hard to appreciate them most of the time.
