interesting

the story is dark and horrible in a good way, but mechanics are old and unreliable.

Difficult but worth the effort

The game is difficult because it's easy to die and jeopardise the endings. But the sci-fi story is intriguing. That's why I played the game with the walkthrough so it was an interactive movie experience for me. Now I need to find a copy of the book of the same name.

A great dark and thoughtful game

It was a very strange game when it was released and people didn't quite understand it at the time so it went pretty much under the radar. I think a few even called it a "game to slash your wrists by" which I thought was a bit harsh, but that might have been due to it's adult themes. We have to remember it was released in the mid-90s when games were still percieved to be mostly for kids. This was one of those games that said: "No they don't!" So glad that it's now on GOG. If you like point and click adventures then this is certainly one game you need to play.
