I really need to replay this - I managed to solve the puzzles back then (20+ years ago), but the plot made little to no sense. I guess Fish! deserves another go as well...
Great Game, just recently completed it and is as eccentric as they come! Never lacking a sense of humour and many of the puzzles can be solved using an alternative way. Atmospheric throughout and ironic ending!
