More like did anyone lose my interest in the middle of this game? Or did anyone lose a good plotline? Many people claim that this game was a Myst rip-off. And they are right. I'll get right to the points: The gameplay is not there. If they had made this game to where you could move freely, it would have made it better. But no, your stuck on the same path constantly. The puzzles range from simple to get-online-to-see-what-your-missing. All you do is grab stuff, use it later, and try to figure something out. The storyline is completely awesome, but this game is executed so poorly that you cant help but notice all the flaws. The fact that this thing runs in Quicktime makes it blow before you even glance at it. And its an old Quicktime also, which means that the images are shaky and they are all pixelated. At one part, I dont know if its because of my disc or a glitch, but the game completely goes black. Just dead. The sound ranges from annoying ambient techno to an obnoxious wooshing sound everytime you use something. Like I said, this game lasts for about as long as you can stand it. Which, trust me, wont be long. I bought this game for $10 at K-Mart (dont hate) because it looked cool. Well its not. Trust me, the second one is actually no better.
