Summary

They don't make adventure games like this anymore

The Good

The usual stylish graphics of the Bitmap Brothers are present throughout this title, though it is often overlooked compared to their other games. A great little game in its own right. Reminded me of 'head over heels' and other classic Isometric puzzle games.

Its mainly the mood and atmosphere of the game that won me over. Reading scrolls and going through the belongings of the dead of the empty castle, can be quite eerie - and sucks you into the story throughout the five large levels.

The Bad

If you never finished a 'rubik's cube' , then like most of us you'll probably struggle with this game. Even if you did, its a real challenge - as some of the puzzles seem fairly illogical in their solutions.

The controls & interface can be quite fiddly - especially in close encounters with the games many varied creatures & traps

The Bottom Line

At times frustrating, but ultimately rewarding & atmospheric puzzle-adventure
