The Side Game sucks

This game was quite interesting and fun until the first eye-hand coordination ala FIRST PERSON SHOOTERS side game during a dream sequence that disappointed me greatly. I cannot, repeat cannot, and repeat again, CANNOT even attempt to come close at completing these things so this game was cut quite short for me and must give it a negative 100 rating.
Don't buy it if you want an adventure game. Buy it if you want an arcade game.

I really had high hopes for this game. The story line was intriguing. I was even prepared to do mild arcade games although they're not my favorite thing. I was not, however, prepared for the abomination that is in this game. All I can say to those who actually got through the whole game is" I am not worthy." Don't buy this game if you value your sanity or have high blood pressure.

Next Life? Maybe in the next life.

I'll never buy another European game translated into a U.S. format. Regardless of it's success as "Reprobate" in the Netherlands, etc., it is slow, confusing, and has a slew of bugs in the American version. BEWARE!

Like watching paint dry....

Isn't there any minus Star Rating? If there was, this game definitely deserves it!!! Made in the same gameplay as Indigo Prophecy (dialogues, puzzles and arcade challenges) it is the worst adventure game I have ever played. Indigo Prophecy was amazing - this one is the total opposite!
Totally boring (having to watch Adam walk around the island almost in real time is like watching paint dry - you even have time to go to the bathroom, brew some coffee or even cook... Walkthrough for this game is a must - so you won't have to walk around pointlessly guessing your next move (if it didn't take that long I wouldn't suggest it - but get the walkthrough before you reach for your pills!)
Some of the scenes are too dark for you to find items you might interact with or need later in the game - some of them are really in the Surrealist realm (there's no way you would guess that you might need something and end up dragging Adam back and forth).
The arcade-style puzzles are nerve-wracking; you're better off playing it on a n old PC where you won't worry about breaking the keyboard or smashing the screen. It takes forever for the game to load once you lose the arcade challenges and it takes forever to reach the challenge you last lost.
The characters got on my nerves most of the time and the dialogues are in bad english and childish.
Thank God I borrowed this game from a friend and didn't have to pay for it - a total waste of money.
My advice: If you must try it... borrow it!

The inner games are terribly frustrating and, quite frankly, unneccessary to the story. Would not recommend!

Very Poor Interface

The graphics are ok, but the interface sucks. Every time you click the mouse, it blanks the curser, shows your character slowly walk across the screene, pick up the object, then puts your curser back up for you to click on something else. Takes FOREVER to play! After 10 minutes of play, I don't care any more what the object of the game is, I just want to play something else that responds faster. Unless you are over 60 years old and drive 25 miles an hour everywhere you go, DON'T buy this game.

Horrible!!!

I mean this is a truly horrible game!. The video, graphics, and sound were SOOOO bad, I didn't last 10 minutes. I really wanted to loose myself in a fantasy world (a la Myst or Schism) and this had me more frustrated than a 70 hour work week. Do NOT buy this.

Just BAD

This game is just plain terrible. It is increcibly boring. After about 2 hours of wandering around, you just don't really care about the game anymore. It has absolutely no point. The premise sounds interesting, but trust me, IT'S NOT.

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.

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.
