“A fun concept, a detective game/movie-clips, that is better played in 1 session to finish it, takes between 2-3 hours to understand well what is going on and unlock most of the important parts. Recommended especially when it's very cheap on sale.”

“It's been almost three years since I played this game and "OOOOHhhhh the DREADFUL WIND and rain" is still stuck in my head. Not sure if that's a positive or negative review-- but it certainly left a lasting impression.”
