So many 5 stars, and I know it why. I only gave four because... this... game... is... oh my GOD dated! Actually Im fond of the 90s I love these games (thats why I start buying games on GoG) but on the other hand I saw this game could be much more better back then. I only heard about this, never had the chance to actually try it, so actually this was may first walk in Prof WindleNUT Amazing Museum.
First the postives: I like the spooky atmosphere, most of the puzzles was a great fun, every room was very unique, and the place was huge. I like how the story built together. You read something a book, added another thing from a letter, then a newspaper, until you actually understand the opening video. It was very good.
And the Negs: the Museum is terrifyingly complex. I am not joking, its a fucking maze. You need at least the first 1-2 hour just to navigate in this monstre building. And the info also very huge, you maybe get 60% all of the readings from the library and the from the office. I spent actually 3-4 hours just read everything... over, and over. And since its dated, and the resolution so small, I neraly cant read key information.
Some of the puzzles just to easy, or not making sense, or way too hard (chinese box, pinball fucking machine, each consumed at least 2 hours of my life, the ywere the real shivers), and Im not sure how I had guessed the correct word at the tower, by pure chance/luck.
I hate the backtrackings, the animation of the shivers (even I really frightened from the first one, when I still belive this game was a horror stuff). But my greates issue with this game, the fucked up inventory system. I dont really get why they did this. Why don'T you have all pots which you find? And not just when you capture the pokemons. They even created a sanctuary for them, but you can't use that. Thank god you at least read all of your clues you already find. So this pottery business was a real adventure bugger.
All in all I beat the game like 20 hours.
