Simple physics for fans of Myst
The Good
Basically the best thing about this game is an interactive physics database for high school students, with lots of examples, so every kid around 14-18 with an interest in this subject should play it.
The building architecture was also kind of weird and interesting.
The Bad
Everything else... It's a Myst clone, no real plot, the riddles aren't really teaching or requiring any physics apart from 4-5. Too small. I finished it in 4-5 hours. The ending riddle was bit boring involving some tiring repetitive simple calculations. The gameplay is a bit slow as is the interaction with the inventory items.
The Bottom Line
It's an education title for high-school students who will learn some basic physics from it while having a relaxed time. Nothing spectacular,
or very enjoyable.

Good until the end, when it crapped out
The Good
Great teaching concept. Good examples and real-world tests
The Bad
The end game failed. The windmill generator is supposed to have a voltage of 22000 at 4000 windings.
In the copy I bought, the maximum voltage at the windmill was 12800. There was no way to get a total voltage of 40KV across the 3 generators. I wasted a couple of days trying to figure it out before I went to the walkthrough and found out how it was supposed to work.
The Bottom Line
How to hate physics in one medium-hard lesson
