« Une expérience incroyable. Je pensais pas accrocher à ce point, j'ai pris mon temps et au final je suis là en train d'avoir mes petits frissons sur la musique du générique de fin.

« Nice trip down memory lane, the visuals are quite insane. Unfortunately the game itself is quite tedious to play. Uninstalled after the 4th or 5th case as I was forcing myself to play more than I was enjoying it. »👎 anonymous review · 5 h played« Je ne comprends pas les avis positifs. La nostalgie a bon dos. Ce jeu est un calvaire pour les yeux, les oreilles et les nerfs. À réserver aux masochistes. »👎 anonymous review · 18 h played« Très relaxe, trop relaxe... C'est un jeu que tu cherche sur un navigateur des truc... Je peuy faire ca moi-même. MAIS! y'a plein de comments qui disent que c'est banger comme jeu, donc je suis peut etre juste un gros hater »👎 anonymous review · 1 h played« A very short puzzle/investigation game with a lot of charm and some good puzzles, but also several very awful, tedious, unfun puzzles. Not worth the list price, get it on steep discount if you must. »👎 anonymous review · 3 h played« Pretty cool concept, gameplay gets real tedious real fast. Better off as more of a nostalgia piece than an actual game »👎 anonymous review · 2 h played« One of the best games I ever played. Just had some problems with some puzzles and keyboard conversion but that's really all I could find bad »👍 anonymous review · 22 h played
