This game was going okay, but then at one door puzzle it would not work. I tried every combination, and I consulted a walk-through for the correct combination, but no go. It was, of course, a room vital for the plot.

I suppose for anyone who enjoys mediocre pulp fiction, there might be some potential IF they can make it beyond where I failed. I don't know.
