Wonderful game, with well-balanced puzzles, interesting story, and the rotoscoping is really really well-done. Played the game with my wife, and we really liked it.

Right up there with Heroine's Quest as "Most polished and spectacular free game made with AGS". Would happily pay money for this! Similar tone to "Samaritan Paradox" but with more of a "Gabriel Knight" vibe. Great stuff.

This game drew me inside like few others. The voice acting is fantastic, the puzzles are logical, the story is strange... Love this one, strongly recommended!

What a great game! I was really thrilled by it. Better than many commercial games nowadays...
