Ratings and reviews

Classic point and click game that works just well here as it did on the PlayStation and the DS director's cut version. It may be old but fans of the genre shouldn't be disappointed. Over time I've played it 4 times now and still forget some of the puzzles. I only wish there were more of these types around. Comparable to Inner World, Machinarium, Simon the Sorcerer and Flight of the Amazon Queen

Absolutely brilliant! The original game is obviously a classic and I think it's implemented very well here. The controls work beautifully, which was something I was concerned about after playing through a few adventure games on my phone using ScummVM but no worries here, they've got it spot on. I've never played the Director's Cut so it's great to get a chance to see what was added. And for under a fiver? Nice! One gripe: It would be great if I could backup my saves using Google Drive.

Terrible glitch with this game. It keeps wiping my progress every time I come out of the game. It's done it twice now. I opened the game for the first time, played for about an hour, saved my progress. Open up the game again a few hours later and get a message saying "downloading sources" or something like that. Finally the game opens up, and my saved progress has been removed. I thought it might be a one off so I started again, played a bit further into the game this time, saved again. Came back to it the next day and the exact same thing happened and I need to start from the beginning again? This really needs fixing. I paid for this game and getting a refund is not as easy as it used to be!
