I think it's pretty cool, actually. So far, this game is very well-designed, and it seems like the designers programmed a unique response for just about every action, which is really cool.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16946742995687817751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-2348318371166801652016-02-12T00:37:14.682+11:002016-02-12T00:37:14.682+11:00All will be revealed next post . . .

I *could* have reloaded at several points, but I decided to carry the weight of my decisions to the end, which seems to have been the designers' intention.<br /><br />I'd say this is one of the easiest Sierra adventures I played (didn't need hints at all!) but also one of the more unusual and entertaining.
