Brilliant game

Just when I'd been hoping for more older games to come out among the flood of Indies cropping up of late, GOG pulls out this excellent title. Well done! Anyone who knows the value of Ellison's work will tweak to this titles themes of human morality and ethics. It forces the player to make choices in situations that are questionable. It's also the first real survival horror game made. I can't recommend it highly enough! :)

Unique but frustrating

Played this first time when it came out. Never finished it but learned later on that due to several bugs you could get stuck with no hope of getting forward. Unfortunately none of this bugs have been fixed in this new release. You can still play as Nimdok and get stuck if you do wrong things in wrong order, and the game doesn't even hint that you should've done things differently. Much worse is the fact that you can actually complete all five tales and the get stuck in the last episode without a hope to complete the game successfully.

Great but far from perfect.

There are radical changes when compared to the original short story, some who are comprehensible because it's a short story after all, there is not enought material, but some are really strange and not necessary at all. Read the short story and play the game and see for yourself.

Great Dark and Timeless Classic

First played this game when it originally came out and it has stood the test of time. A unique story with a great mix of story telling and puzzle solving. A must play for any point and click fan it has a view bugs here and there but nothing game breaking.
