Strange but with a good plot.
This is a game with a strange take on reincarnation and secret societies. This isn't Jensen's worst game, but it's close. That said, it's better than most of the stories that adventure games are built upon. There's a lot of guesswork involved with the core minigame, as the in game cues for it are a bit vague. A lot has been made about the graphics, but it's not really all that bad. It's more the art style, the models are relatively detailed but the texturing has an animated look to it, that may turn some people off. The animation is bizarre. The walking animations make everyone walk with a bow legged limp, and the heads crane at weird angles all the time they move giving everyone a creepy broken neck appearance. I'd liken the movements to shambling zombies. The music's well played, but it recycles some of the Gabriel Knight piano music and doesn't always fit. Not as much as Grey Matter, but there's definitely some recycling in the soundtrack. The game design is your typical point and click affair, but suffers from a quirk that punishes the player. I know this isn't the only game to have it but it's annoying. It puts out objects that are quire obviously meant to be inventory items, but won't let you pick them up until the game wants you to, requiring a bit of doubling back. Even more annoying is that the character taunts you with "maybe later," "I don't need that right now," "I don't want to carry that around. I'll come back if I need it later." Finally, and this is very important. SAVE OFTEN. The game has a pause bug that happens on occasion, where you'd perform an action or transition and take a minute or two pause. Rarely but unpredictably, it won't come back. The last 3rd of the game is less forgiving than the first parts. There are some death traps and one dialog sequence where the wrong choices lead to a dead end making it impossible to continue. There's no autosave, so you have to save often or lose your progress.
