I must say i was really surprised how awesome the story is, the game seems alittle slow early on when your on the island but once you get going it pulls you right in, the puzzles early on the island are very basic and the speech is a bit off but once again when you play through the very beginning it just keeps getting better and better.You end up back on the island a bunch of times but every time you do they let you see it from all new angles so it never gets boring to see the same old scenery, i like the idea...very cool.this game reminds me of tunguska if you liked that you will like this....The story had me hooked, it reminded me of the series LOST....the puzzles i thought were perfect not insane and not way to easy,all managable without a cheat guide.From a person who plays adventure games non stop... you should buy this game and stick with it through the very beginning it turns into one hell of a ride...awesome story and great puzzles lead to a good game...

What a waste of time and money

This game is terrible. I could not get the guy to go where he was supposed to go. The game made no sense and was a complete waste of 1 hour.

Not what I expected......

I had bought this game thinking it was like any other adventure game--confusing in some spots, but eventually SOLVABLE. But I found the three little arcade games extremely frustrating and if I hadn't gotten a save for just after the third puzzle I may not have been able to solve this game at all. It wouldn't have been so bad if they hadn't made the puzzles so ridiculously hard requiring you to make your move within nanoseconds. There are some other spots that require you to act quickly so that instead of just enjoying the game and the neat graphics and such I was just tense and nervous instead. I buy adventure games because I absolutely hate the action and timed games and I want to get wrapped up in the story without having to worry about time. Mixing adventure with action is not a good idea. If all the adventure games start doing this, they'll lose me and I'm sure other people as customers. Adventure games are supposed to be fun and intriguing, not leaving you frustrated with no more hair left on your head. That said, I actually found it to be an interesting story line and the different scenes were well done. The English translation was a little kooky and sounded stilted at times, but the message got across. I found some of the actions needed were a little unbelievable. Adam, the hero, is a bit of a weakly wimp. It was as if some of the tasks were to be done only to take up more game time. If you like action mixed with adventure then you might find this game enjoyable but if you're a die-hard adventure-only fan like me then don't buy it--you might lose your voice from screaming at the computer all day.

Not a pure adventure game

This game is from a company known for adventure games. The description sounds like an adventure game. The pictures on the box look an adventure game. Heck, the instruction manual even makes it look like an adventure game.

This is not an adventure game. For the most part, it does follow the adventure format. Click to go places, pick up objects, talk to people, use items, etc. I particularly enjoyed the dream time puzzles.

The big problem is that each of the dream time sections has some sort of hand-eye coordination puzzle. If your hand-eye coordination is not very good, you are stuck. There is no way to bypass these. To add insult to injury, the puzzles are timed and have no instructions about what you are supposed to do other than some obscure icons in the upper-left of the screen.

I managed to muddle through the first one but the second one involves clicking on a rapidly spinning circle to light up blocks. Its a lot like those games with the spinning lights at Chuck-e-Cheese that always eat your money.

If you don't have superb hand-eye coordination, this game will eat your money too when you grind to a halt on one of these arcade games. Don't waste your money like I did.

Disappointed

This was the first PC game I have played & unfortunately it was boring, slow, had awful & frustrating arcade timed puzzles, story was strange, & the ending looked silly. Even the voice acting wasn't good. The main character sounded bored.

I won't sell or give this game to anyone, just throw it away.
