Not Really Sure How To Rate This--A Puzzle Adventure Solved Decades Ago
This review is for the ZX Spectrum version
Look: 8/10 I love the colors and occasional graphics/sprites. This video does a better job than any screenshot could show heh
Sound: 9/10 Plus, fortunately, that video above includes the music. So absolutely odd. The most provocative and absurd game sounds yet since Superman 1978 heh.
Play: 8/10 It technically is just an adventure game full of its tropes, but without the puzzle needing to be actively solved, it loses some of its luster. That being said, I had fun wandering around, but if I were truly playing this back in the day, I'd probly had gotten super frustrated with it. Nonetheless, certainly clever, innovative, and unlike anything I've played.
Feel: 8/10 It has that Prisoner vibe where it feels almost like an experiment. The gameplay is actually quite solid, and the concept, look, and sound are all undeniably memorable. There were a lot of goofy parts, like the Rubber Duck :-p , but it didn't necessarily capture me as much as an absurd, experimental early game should heh... Sorta like Prisoner indeed! Excited for upcoming years that have more capabilities... I mean, Activision certainly pulled a quality anti-game with Venetian Blinds haha.
Attachment: 8/10 Whether I will actually replay …

Attachment: 8/10 Whether I will actually replay this or not, I certainly wont be forgetting it! Ha. And I likely will be showing my brothers, tho I might resort to a video for convenience and... well... where to begin ha. I just definitely don't wanna forget this one heh.
Playtime: 30mins
