I can't agree with the positive comments in the great game thread. I'm a long time adventure game fan, I've been playing them since the 80's.
I don't mind the lack of voices, and the humour and story are okay. I did have one issue with the interface, you can't click on the inventory until the game determines that the current conversion (just text on the screen) has finished, and to force it to finish requires an extra click.
The absurd puzzles kill this game. The first half of the game is pretty good, but after that it's all downhill. There isn't much logic to some of the later puzzles, and I eventually lost interest in the game. There are much better adventure games out there. I think the Metacritc score is far to kind to this game.
