  • Point & click

A very beautiful point and click, with good puzzles. But considering a few things, I find the game too expensive, so wait for a good sale.

Loved

  • Gorgeous art and a good soundtrack
  • Challenging but logical puzzles
  • No clicking on everything until something works

Not for me

  • A very simple story
  • Pricey for a Flash game

The review

One of the best point and click games I've ever played.

Besides looking gorgeous and having a good soundtrack, the game isn't like most point & clicks (click on everything until something works): in this one you can only click on things that are nearby.

And the puzzles, though challenging, are very logical, things you can figure out on your own.

The story is very simple, and definitely not its strong point.

I just think the price is too high for a Flash game.
