Ben there dan that: What a funny little game! A lot of effort has been put on comic dialogues which arise from interaction between characters or objects. Trying unsuccessfully everything on everything in many point-and-click adventure games usually triggers a default answer of error. Not here, so knock yourselves out! The only drawback is the lack of voice acting and sometimes an irritating background music. But not let that stop you from experiencing a very amusing and enjoyable game! Time Gentlemen, Please!: The adventure of Ben and Dan continues on a superb full-length game, with improved graphics and music, heavy doses of humour (not at all refined) and self-sarcasm. The puzzles are escalating in difficulty as the story progresses, requiring out-of-the-box thinking. The innovation that struck me the most is the existence of two games within the game, both of which connect to the story and the real action and one of which connects to a rip-within-a-rip. I highly recommend it!
Excellent retro-style graphics of high quality, beautiful and solid storyline, eerie atmosphere of a post-apocalyptic world. The total duration is satisfactoty and the puzzles are not too easy nor too difficult, just the way I like them. There are three different endings (I think) depending on a last-minute choice. All in all, the game is very immersive and I highly recommend it!
The Shivah is a beautiful atmospheric game, which manages to draw the player into its little world. Very good graphics, great music and voice acting. Its only flaws are its short duration and a somewhat irritating dialogue puzzle in the end. If you are into detective mysteries you should definitely buy it and then proceed with the Blackwell series which reaches perfection.
