The story is beautiful I loved Scandinavian mythology which I didn't was very knowledgeable. Has charming characters but above all else, it has stunning scenarios that look like a movie frame, this was the part I enjoyed the most, I felt like I was in a movie, in fact, I took a lot of screenshots. Puzzles are okay some of them aren't that obvious but they are challenging enough. Music is a rather Celtic style and can be uplifting or mysterious according to the place, well suited for each level. I won't give it a five-star because I played on my Mac OS with a Wacom tablet and the controls were hell. I couldn't mix things properly, neither pick them from the inventory and drag them because it didn't recognize the command most of the times, which caused me to look often walkthrough videos because I thought I was missing something, but no, It was just the controls weren't responding well. And well that's really FRUSTRATING. Although some drag-drop actions took me several minutes I loved the game so much to be patient for the game controls to respond properly. Overall advice: don't play it with a Wacom Tablet. Thus I would give it 4-star punctuation.
17 years have passed and I would play this game again without a doubt. The story is 10/10 and what it seems just a problem with random aliens gets more complex as you advance in the game, but everything unfolds seamlessly as you're just doing your regular photographer-caretaker work. Combines puzzles, battles, races, photography, aliens, biology, a bit of politics, and stealth missions in a well-balanced way. Plus the relationship between Jade and Peyj will certainly charm you. Also has a great soundtrack that mustn't be overlooked. It's a shame that didn't sell well when initially came out but maybe it was just really ahead of its time. Let's hope that the sequel can live up to its name (if they finally finish it)
