Why buy on GOG.COM?

I never played the original, but I knew it for the infamous goat puzzle, and after all these years I finally got to it and enjoyed it a lot, it certainly shows it's age, but nothing to keep me from recommending it to fans of the genre, the story was good (for videogame standards), the voice acting was a little rough (sometimes it sounds like really old audio) And the puzles have that balanvce of not being too hard or too easy ( I guess they tweaked them for the director's cut), I had to brute force my way on a few, but fortunatekly never encountered a "fail state"
I bought the original back in '96 when it released and played it on a 486-based desktop PC when I was 12yrs old.
Now I'm playing through it with my own kids and they are just as captivated by it as I was on the original stock game.
The director's cut version is absolute icing on an already awesome cake though too!
Playing through the same game with added content I can't stress how awesome this is since decades later I remember portions but with new content it's absolutely mind blowing.
Thank you guys for putting this together,
Writing this in 2023, this game has aged quite well.
The game is paced well, not too simple puzzles and not always linear sequences, the art is excellent and the sense of humor of the writers is far better than anything nowadays. A bit cheeky at times on anything religious (a man of God and wrist action, somehow I wouldn't make that connection right away..), but within the limits of good taste.
Highly recommended to any fans of point and click adventures. Great 8-10 hours of fun.
