Really wanted to give full marks as it starts with such promise but it feels disjointed and loses the plot half way through as though it was designed by a committee none of whom knew what anyone else had written...and it ends weirdly. Glad I didn't buy at full price.
While others (including my son) think this is a great game, I gave up because I was bored. Yes, it's well drawn, yes, it's a twisted plot and yes the puzzles make you think but I lost the point and my interest which saddened me. It is, I won't deny, a step up from the usual and certainly a welcome addition to the Myst family which many will enjoy but sadly, not for me.
I looked farward to this as I had enjoyed several other ND games but gave up after a short while because no matter what I did the security man ALWAYS got back before I had completed the puzzle I needed to continue
This game is very frustrating. There is scant instruction. The time clock is very vague and there is no help if the time is tight. It's not as if I wanted a hand hold but so many times you get to within ONE square and the time "suddenly" runs out. It isn't a game of skill but of total chance that the squares fall as you need them. I like a challenge but this one is down to pure luck only so save your money unless you like swearing and getting stressed. I have abandoned it. Permenantly
Ok. So the game is good even if a bit repetitive, sort out each ghost, get a piece of mirror etc but still worth a try except for the glitchyness. The animated cursor worked sometimes only and the game had issues from time to time especially during the HOs. Animation ok but the villain didn't scare me...
