So where are the other Kheops games?

I had to admit, I hold a very BIG prjudice about Kheops, and all these Myst-clone nonsense. Then I get bored some days ago the other Sherlock Holmes games, so I give it a go Jurney to the Moon... and it just sucked in. Never imagines that will be the best Verne adaptation. And actually start to think: maybe Kheops games not all that bad after all? So immediately start Return to Mysterious Island, and its also a quite good game. Maybe an easy one (after the super hard 7th Guest I really need some relax) BUT I already played through at least 5 times in a row, and I need the ultimate 401 points so I will make a 6th playthrough. Altough I have some issues: First this Mina character maybe the most ugliest girl I must controll (frenchies cant draw girls stylish ways? I thought Kate Walker maybe the ugliest, but surely its Mina). The game is super short. Idk why, the hardest part the photo-like paintings where you need to hunt the pixels. After you find the things its easy of corse, but the first playthorugh hardest part was when you need to feed Mina, and she eat everything to get back her strength. Then you did it agai with Jep, the did a little alchemy, then kill all the sentinels, final you answer questions... and then the game abruptly ends. I really like to search the Nautilus... altough thats another game... But I like very much the setting, the theme, the music, JEP he was a very likeable monkey boy. I never forget the drawings when Mina take care of his wounds. It was so touchings. I thought maybe he could have died without Minas help. The Inventory system is super good. If you just stuck, you quickly scroll one things with all of the other. And its very good not only one solution exists. I love this in Journey to the Moon, and they developed for this game. Its really sucked the sequel so screwed up nearly everything. But hey this doesent explain why every other Kheps games missing from GoG. so come on guys buy the brands!

Does not run on High Sierra

The game does not run on MacOS High Sierra, the text size is so big even the menu entries are unreadable. The boxes that should display the subtitles are empty, and there is no way to select additional languages. Sad.

Why 5 stars?

The reviewers giving this 5 stars must not have played many other games. If this game caps out at 5 for them, where does that leave better games? This is a standard adventure game that comes in at 3 stars, leaving lots of room to rate games of better design.
