... and did I regretted it! Gameplay is not bad, graphics were top of the line back then. But the f**king plot and the stupid ending ruined everything! If you are looking for a good adventure, with a decent story full of interesting plot twists, LOOK ELSEWHERE! There is nothing more aggravating that a plot full of holes, and a story that knowingly uses the stupidest , most infuriating ending for a detective story. Yes, that kind of ending! Mystery game lovers of the world, avoid this crap at all costs! Don't get it even if its free!
... And I was totally horribly utterly wrong. Although both games use time travel as a way to solve puzzles, that's where all comparison ends. This game is too short, doesn't explain what the heck is going on, and has an 'open ending', as if it were a pitiful art film wannabe. It feels like they only wanted to release something so they could charge for all the rest of the episodes that eventually will turn up. But for that you need a coherent plot line, and this game doesn't have one. Is the protagonist trying to save Earth? Who knows. The game doesn't make up its mind. He seems to by the end of the game. Is he trying to save his family? Who knows. Maybe? He seems to because of the speech at the end of the game. Save Earth from what? Who knows. We don't know because apparently, we the people playing, don't deserve even a hint of what is going on, nor to know why, or even why the heck are we literally running around a city somewhere in Russia; that later turns out to be the protagonist's home town, and also probably the place where Maybe everything got wrong at the beginning... Possibly. Perhaps. Who knows? Who cares!
