    An interesting puzzle game. So far, it's not too hard - which is good, because I'm not very good at puzzles. The atmosphere is quite nice, if a little repetitive (7)

    Essential for those who likes a sit down and have a think. [Aug 2010, p.82]

    Buckets of whimsy and oodles of puzzles make this a satisfying adventure, despite the sometimes steep difficulty.

    The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom is clever, simple, hard and very good to train our brains to solve problems.
