Unlock some puzzles in the security of your own home

It has been awhile since I have played the adventure, or as my friend termed them, “interactive screen saver”. Most of my problem solving these days comes from the newsprint books available at the supermarket. So, playing this game was a pleasant mix of memory and reality.

The game is rather intuitive, as I do not feel compelled to read the instruction text file included on the CD. Gameplay was as expected, with no need to keep utter concentration like in some RPGs with puzzles.

The puzzles themselves were a mix of figuring out a numerical code, to more interactive slider puzzles. Most were a matter of patience, with no one puzzle being too outright difficult. The variety of puzzles presented also keeps one from feeling “didn’t I just do this puzzle?”

Ultimately, though, the game became a matter of wondering when the end was coming as the story itself was very straightforward with no substantial hook to keep one interested outside of the puzzle.

But, all in all, for puzzle aficionados, this game will be of interest, as not much gets in the way of the puzzles.
