I only have one compliment here, and that’s the hint system. It’s well done and I think more adventure games should utilize it.
The FMV cutscenes are absolute dogwater, but they border on so bad it’s good. The control is the worst thing in the entire world. Making the control abysmal in a point-and-click game is certainly quite an accomplishment. If I weren’t a story-driven gamer, I would have dropped this very quickly.
