By now, this game is very dated... but, man, it is still worth playing. This game is smart, engrosing, and fun.
Think of the gameplay from Myst, but with a much better writer creating the world for you, and a much better feeling of interactivity with the story.
The game is addictive but short, It takes only about 10 hours to play through, but you might just want to play it again to explore other possible choices.
Thank you CYPERFLIX (the company that made this game)! I wish you were still making games.
