    GAME COMPLETED SEVERAL TIMES

     In the year since this game was released, we have seen an unbelievable blossoming of all aspects of the artistry of game development. Which leaves this one feeling a bit dated. (A year ago, this would have rated a 4 from me). So though graphics are fine they are not thrilling, the scenes are largely inanimate, there’s no interactivity in the HOs, and little in the way of cutscenes. Also no voiceovers, and no map.

    The game is easy to play, with more than the average number of HOs, and generally easy puzzles. Not a stunning game, none of the bells and whistles, but I have played it several times and still enjoy it. I think part of its appeal is the logical progression of the gameplay, the clarity of the HOs, and the uncomplicated puzzles. It’s a game for a lazy afternoon.
     
    Good no frills entertainment. 
     
    I recommend this game!
