The links don't seem to work for me. Is there a working link anywhere that you can put on this site?
Great game... very intriguing story and fun to play. Some technical issues... might jsut be the two versions I were able to find... but in one (with videos) the game crashes when you try to leave the Noman jail and in the other (no videos) you are unable to re-enter the secret lab once you leave it (which could be a problem if you need to go back and do a certain something for the best ending).

This game had an amazing atmosphere from the beginning. The introduction with that "is anybody out there" was the first thing that made me eager to begin the game. And creeped me out a little, too! And the music throughout the game was cool. I LOVED the graphics of the sky and the moon! I mean that sky over at the peer with the moonlight blinding you was awesome! Very impressive! Playing the game was simple and easy, and I like that, because I hate farfetched items combinations and stuff. I almost died of a heart attack in the inn and when the boy chased me in the church!
The plot was interesting, although I believe it needed some more work because some things were left ananswered.
I am looking forward to more episodes with Ian McDermott!
Oops! I was told by esper that ESPER has multiple endings. Eight to be exact! I guess my review is not quite fair being that I didn't "completely" finish with all the possible endings. Bare in mind, I was unaware there were multiple endings. Will all the endings help answer the questions I still have... I'll soon find out!
