After
Circus I was quite looking forward to the next episode. However, this instalment goes back to basics with a
collect the treasures and place in a storeroom theme. You are supposed to be some sort of hero warrior and saving a species, but that never really is apparent. It's actually a kind of atmosphere light wander through puzzles.
It's pleasing enough to play and solve but nothing to write home about. There is a time limit, but it's so long I never needed to go back and start again.
It also had a very disappointing ending.
Parser/Vocabulary (Rating: 6/10)
Two word input, standard.
Atmosphere (Rating: 5/10)
Quite poor, there are 'vague shapes' and 'power surges' but nothing is ever explained or built upon.
Cruelty (Rating: Polite)
Quite a few quick deaths and one place which requires a bit of luck but nothing that really traps or derails you.
Puzzles (Rating: 5/10)
Mainly one step puzzles with a lot of wandering required.
Overall (Rating: 6/10)
A mildly disappointing effort which you would've thought was one of the earlier entries in the series. I did like the pit head though!
