Never especially challenging, but a decent point and click adventure with entertaining writing. One criticism is there seems to be some sort of memory leak, because transitioning between areas gets slower and slower over time until you close and reopen the game.

Absolutely brilliant. Huge fan of point and click adventure games and this was very engaging from start to finish. voice acting and the story was great! The puzzles were really clever too! Would love to see more of your games on Android!

Where to start? This is a fantastic game! The storyline, the characters, the challenging puzzles! It's potentially better than Broken Sword! It's so nice and long that it's well worth the money too! Here's the bad side though. It's glitchy. It crashes often. So save your progress frequently! Also, sometimes you click on the map and go nowhere. Also the inventory blocks the use of some of the clickable points. But you can still play. I loved the throwback to DOS systems. Well done! Thanks guys!
