At the outset, I thought this would be a delightful period piece game. The architectural layout is well done and the puzzles were challenging and intuitive....for awhile. Then, it devolved into a dreary, tedious venture of complex puzzles (the planetarium, chess set, knights' armor, etc.) where I knew what to do but how to do it?? Reading dreary old English books added to the ennui (weariness). I threw in the towel at the armor dressing section and will move onto something faster paced. Phew!
