This game is a must-play. I believe it's the flagship of AGS and shows how capable the gaming system is. It's similar to king's quest but make no mistakes, it's also unique. It deserves a perfect score, including for storyline.

Good game. I would recommend it to anyone who likes fantasy.
I had problems with the inventory though. Firstly, I found the circular inventory display frustrating since it made locating a particular object rather difficult. With a typical grid style, your eye can travel both horizontally and vertically and you can group objects together which facilitates your search. With the circular display you've got to look at items one by one as your eye travels around the circle. This was not helped by new items apparently inserting themselves at random positions in the inventory. Secondly, my inventory ended up to be rather bloated (3 pages of items). I realized later that these items were the remnants of side quests that I had missed. But having all these additional items in this kind of arrangement made it difficult to solve the main quest. I'm not sure if it's feasible, but I would have liked to lose items if I missed the entrance to their respective side quests.
But, nit-picking aside, a captivating story and interesting characters made for an enjoyable game.

I played this one a while ago, played it through many times achieving different endings. It was one of few AGS games that would run on my old laptop. Found it again on my old flashdrive and replayed it on mt new computer.

If any game is a showcase of what can be achieved with AGS, this is it. I would consider this to be the pinnacle of AGS games. The only negative (and it is a minor one) is that there is a certain luck factor- often there are multiple ways of resolving a situation and often one or the other will negate the possibility of achieving the good ending, although sometimes there are no clues as to which course of action is the ideal.

A great game, many confounding puzzles and head scratching moments

I love this game. It's exceptionally well written. It has fun characters and a fun fantasy element. I loved the fairy aspect and the murder plot. Overall it was extremely well done and the backgrounds were gorgeous. I can't recommend this one highly enough.

Now THIS is an adventure game. It's hard to criticise it rightly, so I'll just say it's brilliant. Play this one and I'm sure you'll soon make your own mind up. What else can I say? This game has been made by a number of people, and that really shows in its delivery.
