This game works better as a historical artifact than as an enjoyable, playable game. The concept is great and the writing has some bright spots (though brutally on-the-nose at times), but it has all of the worst trappings of 1990's point and click adventure games with frustrating, inscrutable puzzles - unless you REALLY want to engage in hours of tedious trial and error, you'll need a guide. That being said, I still recommend this game if you view it more in the academic sense than a "have a fun time" sense. It's a fascinating snapshot of PC gaming in the 1990's. It's a solid attempt at mature storytelling, held back by over-the-top writing and acting and the worst tendencies of adventure games.
