Game is pretty good though quite obscure on some puzzles, but when you get to transporting parts of game it suddenly turns pretty unstable ... moving camera when transport starts will result very likely in game hanging, and on occasion transporting causes fatal error -crash

There is nothing else to say. It is another masterpiece from Cyan. If you enjoy MYST and RIVEN you will absolut love this one.

The minimum graphics requirement used to say (up until recently) Intel HD 4000, Iris 5000 family or better. This has now been recently changed and GOG support tells me that this game isn't compatible with Intel graphics cards. So even though I bought a new computer to meet the min requirements I will never be able to play this game. I hope GOG is more careful when posting the system requirements of games in the future and they follow through with my refund.

I do like a good puzzle, and I like a good storyline, but this game has neither. The story is flaky at best, disjointed, and lacking most of the basic details. The puzzles are really tedious and you soon get the feeling that the hours you spend trying to solve them, most of which is taken up running back and forth, are hours that you'll never get back. Speaking of running back and forth, this game runs on rails so you cannot fall off anything or climb anything and it certainly is not "open world". You find yourself just following the paths that the developers have allowed you to follow, back and forth, get this, bring that, move that, and so on, and just for fun, everything has to have a delay to it, the teleport machines take about 25+ seconds each way, the mine card is excruciatingly slow, and just running is barely more than a brisk walk. The majority of the time in the game is taken up teleporting, walking fast over great distances, and driving a mine cart really slowly. I finished the game, but once finished, the story, what the was of it, ends and that's it, no more play, you're done and you get the credits.

The beautiful visuals taken apart, the game absolutely didn't worth the time invested. This is not a puzzle game. This is a maze game, with doors blocked by passwords, and that's mostly it. Hours of backtracking, moving like a slug, is neither fun nor clever. Add bugs to this (impossible to watch photographs you took), and tons of text that have almost no value.
