I like how these old stories are intertwined in an adventure game. If you enjoy interesting but challenging puzzles and you don't mind traveling between scenes then this game is for you.

By CaptainD on 17 July 2017

Can't believe no-one has commented on this gem yet! Lovely mix of literature and adventure gaming. Some of the puzzles that relied on carrying an object from one "book" to another were a little frustrating, but overall good puzzles and aesthetically pleasing.
