Summary
A real, exceptionally interesting intreractive novel.
The Good
The plot, wriiten by acclaimed science fiction writer Roger Zelazny and Jane Lindskold, is non linear, and there is always more than one way to solve a problem, yet still appealing and satisfying. You will sometimes have to decide what you consider morally correct, and act accordingly. There are three ending sequences to the game, according to the actions you took during the game.
The graphics were considered very good at the time, and is still very beautiful and imagentive today, even if a bit simple on the technical side.
The music adds much to the general atmosphere, and is varied, ranging from haunting, atmospheric music to rythmical, exotic music - all fitting with the setting if the game.
The puzzles are challenging and varied, from word puzzles and numerical puzzles to mazes and lateral thinking puzzles.
The Bad
The interface is somewhat tiring, since not all the commands can be accessed by right clicking.
There are insanely difficult puzzles, such as the crazy world of Verdri, where ice burns, bees talk, pigs fly and nothing is what it seems.
The Bottom Line
A _clever_ game, which is not only fun but provokes thinking.
