Blast from the past

Had a ball playing this again. My mom introduced me to it when it came out, and I never forgot how intriguing and clever it was. I was thrilled to find it here available for the iPad.

The touch controls are finicky sometimes, leading to some confusion, so I’d say it’s like a 4.5/5 just because of that. But the hint system is good and the story and puzzles hold up. Thanks for making an iPad version after all these years!

Favourite retro horror puzzle game

I had this game on PC in 1998 I highly recommend this game to anyone looking for something niche, horror, and retro! One of the best

Impossible navigation and too much dialog

I gave it a good 15 minutes. It’s extremely difficult to move around and the first thing you have to do is to have long, tedious conversations with non-playing characters that reveal nothing. I tried to get a refund, but I guess it’s non-refundable. Flushing $4 down the toilet would have been less frustrating and much more fun.

Спасибо

Огромное спасибо за порт игры и как же хорошо что на английском в оригинале’жаль что максимум только 5 звезд можно ставить´

Love the nostalgia

I haven’t played this since it came out around ‘98. I can remember playing in the dark (pc was in the basement) and feeling freaked out. Would be great if controller support was added because my big old man thumbs make it hard to see and navigate. Overall still very worth it and a blast to play.
