Featured review
Getting back to this one in 2024 feels like a calm blast from the past (first played it when it came out in the early 2000s, but could not beat it then).
In short - its a well-paced puzzler, somewhat restricted by the point/click controls. But for the team of 8 or so people - nice achievement.
Story is not dragging on - quite the contrary - it makes sense.
Many people complain about the graphics on this one but come on - it is an old game. For what's it worth - painted backgrounds tie really nice with the story. Same goes for music (although it does get stuck in a loop pretty fast).
Most important: the puzzles are dope. Some are not as obvious as you'd think and encompass many tropes (such as cryptography, crosswords and so on).
Main problem I faced with it: some plot items are easy to miss, as they blend with the background a lot. If stuck: go dusting those floors / shelves / tables - its all there.
