Plot holes and incoherent puzzles.

Although a much better story than its sequel, this game has plenty of plot holes that the developers never bothered to cover up. There are issues like the main protagonist being present on two places at the same time and so on. Game mechanics consist of pixel hunting, red herrings and illogical puzzles. There was a lot of dying involved before I managed to figure it out what the game wanted me to do. It required to save the game frequently. There were no hints available anywhere to at least give you some indication what was expected from you. Terrible voice acting, obnoxious people, wolves in England in 1981, really? It looks like an Eastern European story transplanted to England. It would be more believable if it was taking place in Poland or Roumania than in UK. Anyway, apart from those things mentioned above, I enjoyed this game enough to try playing it's sequel, and that is another story.
