It wasn't awful, but seemed a bit half-baked. Like the plot could have been good, but the dialog was awful and the bad guy kept leaving notes explaining himself... even though he shouldn't have expected anyone to find it. Several interaction areas didn't have a zoom screen though they were small enough to benefit from it. The graphics were fuzzy in some instances that made it hard to solve puzzles or find HOs. Overall, I only recommend if there's a good sale.

Storyline and graphics are well done, but some items are difficult to see. The controls are touchy at times. The gameplay is okay, though some of the puzzles were a bit tedious. There's a fast travel map, but no real journal. Adequate length, though the bonus chapter is rather short. No major issues.

WHY BIG FISH, WHY!?!!? Maybe in time Domini Games will get better with their graphics, but until then, there are so many other wonderful developers to work with! Mariaglorium is one of my absolute favorites. Beautiful, crisp, immersing gameplay, plots, and graphics. They have come a long way themselves. Five-BN, ERS, 4-Friends, even our newest addition Madhead(slightly blurry at times with glitches, but still worlds apart from this)...all wonderful, talented developers. For me, the gameplay is just ruined when the graphics look like when these kinds of games were first coming out. Domini uses a lot of colors, but its blurry. And the ones that arent blurry have that weird 2-D, cartoonish 'photo' look like many of these games had over 10 years ago. Even when seeing an object up close, it is not crisp, nor sharp. The sparkles have that weird look too. I am truly sorry, but I tried the entire free trial and I already knew from the 1st scene I wasn't going to like this game. But I have given Domini a chance with all 3 of their recent games, accidentally outright purchasing their 1st one without playing since I would always do that with BF new releases...and requesting a refund promptly after the first 20 min. Since then, I have played all the free trials, and not purchased. Sadly, this is another pass. I hope next weeks' new game (if there is a new game) is what I have come to expect from BF. Especially now that Artifex Mundi has decided to hike up their prices RIDICULOUSLY (losing my business, and much respect in the process), I now only have BF, and Five-BN to look forward to with releases. Hope this helps people that see things in the same light.
