outstanding game. if you are willing to stick it out and solve the puzzles, its super rewarding. great buy for fans of adventure games and lovers of a good story. its a perk that the expansion is already out (dreamfall).

Not Quite Like Syberia

All in all a good game, however in future games, maybe this company can improve the graphics. The characters and scenery weren't as smooth moving as Syberia and the cutscenes sometimes were extremely long...I look forward to a sequel?

Journey back to the old days of video games.

For a point-and-click, this is as good as it gets. It's fun and imaginative, but dated. There's no way to get around that. Players of Oblivion or Neverwinter Nights, et. al., will be bored to tears.

There are no real choices because - again - it's point-and-click. The fun is putting your pointer where it's not supposed to go. E.g., at the character's underwear. :-)

If you're new to gaming or have an older computer, then this one's for you!

I haven't had a chance to really get into it yet, but so far, it looks like I'm going to have a lot of fun!

Excellent

I admit, with todays games, it's hard to sit and play a point and click adventure that requires brains and problem solving skills. But if you can manage to bring your lazy self to it lol, it is an excellent experience. Also, play Planescape Torment.

Pretty Good Overall From a Graphics Freak

First thing: My copy played flawlessly, no small thing. The backgroud graphics were very interesting, which made the upclose ones all the more jarring. Still suitable. There is a LOT of dialogue. Some of the sound quality on my CD's was less than perfect, but "perfect" has become a relative thing in this world. On the whole, I would rate the game as a lot of fun w/ minimal frustration, and reasonably good graphics (a must for me). The ending is interesting. 'Nuf said.

As such games go, it was definitely better than average, and I'd recommend it.

Cool !

I haven't seen a game like that since SpaceQuest.
Be ready for a long journey :)))

The only disappointment were some of the reviews

I had a great time with this game, though I admit I had to consult a walkthrough to get past certain obstacles, but that just meant it was challenging to me, and that's what I want. The graphics were good but not the greatest and the amount of dialogue is tremendous. The story is a bit convoluted but to me it made it all the more immersive, interesting.

The game has a "Mature" rating, so it puzzles me why I read so many negative reviews about the game being "obscene" or that it had a "hidden agenda" since there were lesbian (minor) characters and mix race couples featured. Personally I found that feedback more offensive than the occasional f*** I heard on the game...

One of the best inventory based games I've played, and overall probably the best game I've played in years. Very creative and engaging.

Too much dialogue

The dialogue was too long and the storyline became complicated with too much material that did not appear to have anything to do with the plot. I found myself skipping through the dialogue towards the end. In addition, the puzzles were obscure. The graphics were good but APril was annoying and not attractive and her feminist ideas were too much! Also, there was too much profanity.
I prefer the kings quest series which were visually appealing and to the point.

The Longest Boring Jouney

Yes, the graphics are good as is the voice acting but this has to be the most boring game I've ever tried to play. There is way too much talk and not enough action as the conversations go on for 5 to 10 minutes with each character. Yes you can skip the conversations but if you do so you miss out on some of the info you need to play the game. I suggest you play Grim Fandango or Syberia instead.
