A strange, sad, beauiful game that pushes the boundaries of what can be achieved in terms of mood and emotion in an adventure game. A very impressive effort.

Most of the puzzles are fairly easy, except for the final few which are quite a challenge. Graphics and music were both superb.

Storytelling in AGS brought to a unique level. Very good use of cutscenes. I was very impressed.

Wow. Top quality graphics. I'm impressed (and just a bit jealous!) The music was also great, and the whole thing together was creepy and atmospheric. Just what I'd expect from a ghostly revenge story.

The puzzles were a little strange at times, and I'm not quite sure if I got the whole story. I did get stuck on the part where the ghost is coming after you and you have to set the traps, and had to look up a walkthrough, so I know there are alternative endings. I got about 3 of them, but they all seemed a bit anticlimatic.

Some of the items seemed a bit random, like the to do list, but were explained in one of the endings (sort of).

Still, this was really neat, and is one of those games that makes you wanting more. Sequel, or at least another awesome game please?

The visuals (especially the cutscenes) are defenitely Marionette's strongest suit- within a few moments you're THERE. The atmosphere's nice and glum, the story flows easily, and all too soon it's over. I enjoyed the game a lot, though I had expected a little more challenge, puzzle-wise. The plot fails to surprise too much, yes, but that'S not a bad thing: Marionette showcases how well a familiar plot/setting/theme can capture the player when done as well as in this lil' ghost tale!

Very polished and quite atmospheric little ghost story. The plot is fairly predictable throughout, but effort has been put into establishing the characters, which works to the game's advantage. The puzzles are structured as a series of escape-the-room puzzles, with a lot of code breaking and finding hidden doors--nothing too exciting, but generally providing a good motivation to explore. Voice acting would have pushed it up a notch, and may be added to a future release.

Overall, the game is an enjoyable way to spend an hour or so, even if there's little special to separate it from the pack.
