Weird, easy, short. Not bad, but clearly an early work.
Okay, for this review, I'm going through a dialogue with gog user myster_web about our experiences as we played through the game together in real life. Prator: So, I thought it was kind of short. It took us, what, five hours to finish all of it? Web: We started it at 11:00 and finished it at 4:30. So, definitely yeah, short. I thought it was gonna be a lot a more complex. Prator: Puzzle difficulty wasn't much, most of the time. The biggest trouble was spotting all the things you needed to pick up. This game has taught me a few things about looking down. Web: It was kinda like Syberia in that all the puzzles were "find an object and a place to put it", only some of the puzzles were a little counter-intuitive. Could have had more variety, but it's not bad for a shorter game. Web: One thing that bugged me was the way that you looked around. It may cause motion sickness if you're staring over someone's shoulder. Prator: Or just if you've got a weak stomach. Web:..... Are you trying to suggest something? Prator: It's not a suggestion. Web: Touche'. Let's continue. Web: The plot feels kinda like a dream sequence; don't take it too seriously or it will make no sense. If you think of it more as a waking dream, it'll come across much easier. Prator: Your character's actions are pretty damn inexplicable, but that might be because you're playing a mime. Web: ...who can carry a huge egg in his pants. Prator:...With telekinesis. Web: And don't forget he tried to headbutt a rhinoceros-hippo. What was up with that, anyway? Prator: On that note, this game has more than its share of memorable moments. Given it's length, there are a lot of bizarre or interesting things that you'll probably have fond memories of later. Web: The visuals are absolutely gorgeous. It does feel like you're exploring a real world, and the sound changes depending on where you look. For the time period, it definitely feels real. I still really like the end sequence; not telling you what it is, but be prepared to have a "What the frell!?" moment. :) Prator: My assessment is that it's a good game, but I wouldn't pay ten bucks for it. I recommend waiting for a sale. If you feel you MUST drown yourself in prettiness, I'd go for Syberia first. Web: This game is more for fans of the creator. It's really cool to see where Syberia came from, and it explains those dang winding machines. Try splitting the cost with someone else. Prator: Incidentally, you still owe me five bucks. Web: It's coming! I'm getting there!
