I seem to remember this game as being one of the biggest flops in the history of adventure games. Can anyone see if this is right? -- Monkey&Bell 16:47, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
Eh well. Some game reviews state it as disappointing with low scores, while many regard it as marvelous. It is not very well marketed, and few seem to know about it. A friend that owns it has it in high regard (I'll borrow it to see myself). Compare the gamespot review and user reviews there. Seems as a love it or hate it thing. 146.124.141.250 ( talk) 13:15, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
I'd second the OP's hazy memory... IIRC, it wasn't just "poor reviews" but fans complaining about highly obtuse puzzles (or perhaps bugged puzzles), etc. following those of 'Ripper', which culminated in a "if you don't like it, we won't make any more of these games" from Take 2!!! I can't confirm that, but it seems a strange thing to remember if it wasn't somewhat true.-- Banjo oz ( talk) 06:57, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
