Brilliant game, I loved this puzzle fest and its wide setting with different types of locations and things to do. If you like mapping, solving problems and collecting treasures, this is the adventure for you.
Massive game, with some brilliant puzzles. Quite often, you are given the impression that you have solved a particular puzzle, only to have a further complication appear a little later.
Also, I liked the way the goal of the game was not apparent until quite some way into the game.
Michael Powell's film "The Boy Who Turned Yellow" is of similar stock. The London Underground has never looked so liverish.
A good recommendation by Darkiss and Nimusi. I don't know much about Dorothy's games, but I am impressed by this one so far.
