Really 2.5 stars. I've been playing adventure/puzzle games since the late 80's and this game is mediocre. I agree with others that have said that the screens load too slow. To me, an important attribute of adventure games is knowing WHAT to do AND receiving clues along the way as to HOW to do it. Also, the puzzles should be challenging, but logical. Several of the puzzles had no logic. Also, the interface, though decent, wasn't the best. Having the newspaper articles separate from the inventory was unnecessary. The game was also missing two very important settings: separate music and sound effect volume controls. Speaking of the music, it was too repetitive. Just some constructive criticism to help you make your next game better.
