Fantasy Environment and Adventure.
Environments are pretty well done with some great time based mechanics. Still not a fan of repeating same glitchy trick for multiple times. Still, story is decent and gameplay indulging.

Ultimately awuful
In my youth I tried twice to finish the game without success because of bugs so when I found it here on GOG I finally took the the chance to see it through and.... wow it's really awful!! I love old adventures but this is so bad I can't even understand how it got published. Badly written, badly programmed, it's "virtual theater" system it's one of the most annoying and useless feature ever in a game! Even sound and music are underwhelming compared to other games of its age. It's quite a short game, but it's not worth your time. Skip it and play Indiana Jones, Kyrandia, Simon the Sorcerer or all the Leisure Suit Larry ones.

Enjoyable, not memorable
If you like old adventure games this game is something that is worth trying for sure. The storyline isn't too grandoir and knowing what to do next isn't super hard to puzzle out. The graphics are good for it's time, etc. Where things get really frustrating is the actual game play. The game boasts a new engine of being a "live theater" or something like that - meaning; characters understand a limited amount of dimensional space. (Dunno if that was the right way saying it... but whatever) So in one scene - you could be giggling watching your hero try to navigate the crowd of people to enter a shop. In the next scene - you're cussing him out because we won't tell the other charact what to do because there's an unseen barrier or something. So he ends up just wandering around the screen until both he, the other character, and you as the player - display a "?????" over your heads. Sigh... The game would probably have taken half as long if this wasn't a factor. If you've got the patience of Moses - go for it. If not - and yet you still want a challenge of your patience - stock up on some drinks.
