Borderline unplayable.

I bought it on a whim becuase it's goofy as heck opening cutscene made me laugh real hard. I figured I could enjoy a little clunky 90s nostalgia. Well had it been *just* a simple point and click game, it may have been fine. The fact that there is comabt(!) ruined any fun I may have had. It's almost impossible to control, hit or dodge or even just move. It uses the Myst way of movement, that is first person and clicking on each screen indivudally to move. When it's already vein poppingly frustrating to simply WALK, just imagine what kind of hellish, Sisyphosian nightmare combat is. This is a prime example of a game that time was not kind too. It exists in its micro universe of 90s PC weirdness, with all the pitfalls and aggravations we had to deal with back then. Just watch a playthrough on youtube and have a snicker at the terrible VA and blocky playdough graphics, save yourself the headache of actually playing it.

A lot of fun back in the day

I have some nostalgia over this one. I remember buying it back when it first came out and absolutely loved it. It was good for it's time. I think time hasn't been kind to it though, we have come a long way and the mechanics of the game are very dated and frustrating to play. I will still add it to my collection of memorabilia. Unless you enjoyed it when it first came out, you may find this title a little too dated.

A very mysterious feeling

The thing about Cryo games is that they give you an extremely mysterious feeling that somehow glues onto your mind forever. I was playing this as a kid and maybe it is not the best game out there on the market, but it really has something special that other games do not have. And if a game give me that feeling, I really enjoy it. I just finished it now again and it was as good as back then, Take it for what it is and don't compare it to other games. This is an unique experience and the "depressing" world is really enjoyabe. Definately worth a try!

Great adventure

The first 3d point and click I played years ago that I actually finished. Great memories and to this day every time I hear games and movies reuse that door opening sound effect, it makes me want to play it again. Don't find it any more clunky than any other adventure game of the age...to be honest.

Memorable Legend

I disagree with the previous reviewer to an extent. I also had this game at release. I was about 5, and I loved it. It was actually one of the first games I remember playing. That being said, it really didn't age all that well. The world is good, and the story is pretty good, but some of the puzzles are very specific. I had a guide book when I was a kid and used it. The first half is pretty linear, but the second half is where it gets tricky. The voice acting is... terrible, but what else do you expect from a game of this era..
