Seriously buggy - Do NOT buy

Yes the concept is different and interesting, if annoying at times, and yes the translation from French leaves much to be desired, but all that pales against some serious dead stop bugs, at least under Vista.

The first time through, I progressed to a point where I was supposed to climb the ship, and I got locked up (That is the protagonist wouldn't move in any direction). When I re-started, she refused (vocally) to go in that area of the ship again.

I started all over. This time I got stopped, repeatedly, in an area I had passed through smoothly the first time. Same deal - once stopped I could not get her to move in any direction, even when reloading from an earlier save and moving to the trouble point.

OK - that's enough, unload the game and into the wastebasket it goes!

Too bad, I really like the occasional adventure game.
