Reception

I have nostalgia for this game and was happy to see it on steam. I remember finding it difficult but not why. The why is that there are many objects with the opacity reduced by a ridiculous amount. There are trophies to collect, but out of around 20, six of them require no hint usage. Even if I wasn't an achievement hunter what's the point of testing...

To start with I didn't understand what was the game play, but after a few false starts I began to make sense of the highlighted items to be coupled with those in the inventory. A lot of thought must been given to making this game enjoyable for all ages. I am over 70 and this game gives me plenty of time to think things out, without any time penalties...
