Adventure gaming at it's finest.

This is definitely in my top 3 of favorite Sierra On-Line games. Full of dialogue, dark, thousand ways to die, beautiful art, great story. A must have for every adventure gaming fan.

YES

Thankyou! First Freddy Pharkas, now Laura Bow! Im in Sierra heaven. I love this game. Its so beautiful. The amount of gameplay and gorgeous rooms in this game is very underated in the Sierra gaming library. Alot of clicking, alot of reading conversations, alot of repeating questions cause you arent sure if you asked it yet. Yes, very repetetive in that respect, but so worth it.

Trapped!

Like the first LAURA BOW game, you're trapped in your surroundings. While the story, I feel had more depth in this game; I didn't feel it was as charming as the first game. It is a little more difficult (I feel) than the first game as well. But nothing that will stop you from ever beating it. But the first game, over all, was pretty easy. If you're in the mood for CLUE but want to play an interactive game - this is the one for you!

Wandering aimlessly

Nearly impossible without using a hintbook. Eventts seem to be timed by a game clock, but there's no way to know what time it is so you can be in the right place at the right time. There's also no going back to check anything once the acts change. Hard to questions all the suspects when they just wander around the museum and randomly disappear. In what must be a bug, one of them even wound up walking on the ceiling.
