Enjoy the Madness

A great little gem with a dark and serious story. Recommended for everyone who loves pixel and/or point and click adventure games. No crashes or other technical difficulties (runs on a potato!) Only thing that bothered me was the inablity of the main character to run more than a few seconds (changes later in the game).

A very cool game

It is a very cool game. Also the damned rats... always biting your behind when you least expect. And watch out for all the decapitaed bodies roaming around. At some point you'll learn to simply ignore them.

Excellent action adventure

Not really a typical point and click, its structure is more reminescent of the "action-adventures" of old, like C64 Project Firestart or the System 3 games. Difficulty of the action sections is perfectly acceptable, well calibrated even on challenge mode. And of course, the whole game is a clear love letter to a wonderful 1932 film, I'll let you discover what it is.
