*** PLEASE BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY, This was the PERFECT Game of all time ever! EVERYTHING fit into place perfectly! You never wondered if something would combine, fit or trigger the next part of the puzzle. There were all the elements of a true amazing adventure game. There was a detective angle to it as well. The story was excellent. The characters were terrific. And the locations were super duper COZY!!! EVERYTHING kept making sense as you went along. Like a great movie or novel, you couldn't wait to see what would happen next. There were tons of objects, conversations and things to do. It felt non linear at times which is a very good thing. If I were forced to complain there were a couple of puzzles that didn't make total sense and there were a couple of very small times when you had to backtrack slightly hence the dreaded how would I ever know to go back there?! Lastly there were a couple of times when you clicked on an object but couldn't interact with it - YET, then you'd go back only to use it. But in those few rare instances, he would usually make a comment about it. Towards the beginning you got to bang around a viillage, the next part send you to another village and hotel, then it got a bit puzzley which was fun and a bit much at times, then it went back to a mansion. The locations varied and made it an increditble, amazing game!! So please grab a bowl of soup , cup of coffee or hot chockies and snuggle up with a warm cuddley blanket and your favorite pet and PLAY THIS GAME RIGHT NOW! It's very very long too. I've played hundreds of games and if I had to pick just one, this would be it!!!
