A wonderful game with superb graphics and a challenging plot.
The Good
A well-articulated series of challenging puzzles to solve in order to gain access to deeper levels. Not a "shoot'em up bangbang," (and at the age of 77 I am not attracted to same)...
But well done and very interesting.
Were it available for Windows 10 or similar, I would acquire it again.
However, I think that at Windows 98 it gave up the ghost.
The Bad
Doesn't run on 64-bit processors.
It may not run on 32, I'm not sure.
The Bottom Line
Interesting, somewhat fascinating, unique in its style of play, challenging in the period in which it is set, educational in the moves you need to make and information you need to acquire to get further into the game.
A similar style to Myst, but better! (IMHO)

Trivia
Easter eggs
First, go into the building of four rooms (the place where you get the plate).
Next, go into the red room (the one where you fix up a house to make it look desirable).
Now, zoom in on the red dragon on the bookshelf.
Turn right twice, and zoom out.
Here's a picture of the programmers! You can click on them for close-ups and silly things to happen.
Then, when you're done, go back. You're back at the beginning
