Don't waste your time and money on this game-it's not worth it. The story idea is interesting but it's hard to navigate (it's easy to miss a location) and a lot of the tasks you're required to do don't make sense (I couldn't have made it past the opening scenes without the walkthrough, embarrassingly enough)I got bored a third of the way through and quit. It's a good idea, but it didn't turn into a good game.
Waste of time and money

I just finished playing this game last night. It was the worse adventure game I've ever played. The dialogue is inane. The voice acting is horrible. The body language is goofy. The navigation is a painful exercise in frustration. The puzzles and tasks are either pointless or impossibly difficult or both. I had to consult two different walkthroughs just to get through some of the puzzles.
It's really too bad because the visuals are stunning. The graphics and colors are very good and the cutscenes are especially nice. But these things are not enough to save this game from being truly awful to get through.
PLEASE make it quit...

"Please make it quit!!" was what I was thinking the entire time I was attempting to play this game. I kept hoping that things would change and it would get better, but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, it never did, so I finally gave up in utter frustration. I have never before "played" a game that was so totally UNplayable, as this one is.
It is absolutely impossible to navigate in this game, as hotspots are microscopic/missing, and the visible ones don't work. The "puzzles" are simply a collection of miscellaneous inventory items used in completely illogical ways on equally illogical objects. Can't navigate in this game, by the way - Arianne spends an inordinate amount of time actually physically stuck somewhere, while I went over the screen 1/4 inch at a time, looking for any way out. The progression of this game is utterly ridiculous, as frequently Arianne has to accomplish a task BEFORE she is given the necessary information to accomplish that task! Did I mention that the navigation is criminally horrible???
If it were possible to give this game a big, fat ZERO, I'd do it. I finally had to quit before my blood pressure blew my head off. Or, before I put a sledgehammer through my monitor (and it was NOT the fault of my hi-tech computer). I agree with the other reviewer who said it wouldn't even be fair to give this to someone else, as that would be incredibly cruel to another human being.
Save your money!
