Over All Rating Reviews :

Let's start with the a positive note: the background graphics are gorgeously done which remind me of the Myst game series. I think the game would come across even better if they made it first person instead of the awful third person graphics they laid on top of the background graphics. The characters body/ergonomic movements remind me of second generation Nintendo graphics - awful!

Then there is the voice acting/scripting - just terrible; sooo unnatural you can almost hear the pages in the actors hands being switched - and did they hire people off the street to do the painfully fake European accents voice-overs on here? There are even parts where you can hear they used different people for the voice-over scripting in the same paragraphs or sentences.

Some of the logic behind things you have to do is moronic. I don't know if they are intended to be comedic, or it's just more cheese. For example, having to tie a stick of dynamite to a rat to let him go through a hole in a wall to blast a secret door open...I'm sure we all think of things like that to do in our problem-solving skills. With the over all serious tone of the game from the beginning, I'm guessing this wasn't an attempt at humour, but just plain cheese as with the voice scripting/acting.

I haven't even finished the game, but I'm going to since I paid for it, even if it means turning the audio off because the voice-acting/script is as bearable as nail scratching a chalkboard...and that's what makes this game almost scary.
