Lure of the Temptress (1992)

I'm a point-and-click purist, so was delighted to note this was available for free download, as I remember it receiving decent reviews for the old Amiga in the 1990s. However, after a few plays I uninstalled it, because it's a DREADFUL playing experience and one of the poorest examples of its kind I've come across. Chief bugbear is the dismal experience of attempting to interact with other characters. If anyone else in the room is conversing with another NPC, their inane prattle keeps cutting over your own conversation and disrupting the flow of the game. All too often, when you're trying to strike up a conversation or ask another character to do something, other NPCs walking around simply get in your way and you have to keep re-asking the questions again and again to make progress. Other characters perpetually block your path, too, and your character has an annoying habit of walking around and around the screen when you simply want them to walk a step or two towards an NPC. Might not sound like much, but when it happens continually it'll make you want to scream. Progressing through the game is also a very vague, repetitive and hit-and-hope approach, so you'll doubtless need to refer to a walk through to get anywhere, so fair to say it's not at all intuitive and is an absolute shadow of the really great point-and-clicks like Monkey Island and Indiana Jones. As a final insult, the sound and music is sinfully poor, so this really has no redeeming features. AVOID!

I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. But walking around and talking to people is very glitchy, so it takes some patience.

"music" is mostly an annpying blast of notes for the majoroty of the game. your "helpful" companion keeps bumping into you. EVERYONE keeps bumping into you! you have to try again and again to complete certain actions. Glad this was FREE

A good point and click game. A little bit dificult to understand in the beginning, but you ´ll get the way faster.

There are way better point-and-click games out there. There's a reason why Lure of the Temptress is free on GOG. It's devoid of any life.
