This game when it came out was massive with something like 8 discs. It had some incredibly freaky and amazing visuals for its time. I have been waiting for a way to play it on a newer os for some time now. I am so happy. Everyone who likes point and click adventures should give it a try. Thank you GOG!!

a flawed classic

Despite coming on a small mountain of CD's I finished this game in a weekend when it first came out, but I did finish it and enjoyed doing so.
It's not without it's faults. There were a couple of puzzles that if completed incorrectly would make the game uncompletable (the one involving a door, a key, a pencil and a newspaper springs to mind).
The game also infamous at the time read more
for featuring a 'rape' scene (which consisted of the main character's evil possessed husband following her into the bathroom where she is combing her hair. The scene fades to black and when the lights come back up he leaves and we see her sitting on the floor looking a bit dishevelled).
Despite it's faults though I found it a very enjoyable (if short) adventure.

I loved this game. I was totally into it. Loved the music, setting, everything about it. Couldn't stop playing. I think I will pick this up and try to relive it. I know it won't be the same since I am used to today's visuals, but I would love to see it redone with HD video and graphics. Would be great to see it again.
