What players say

Players describe it as a short hidden object game with a historical mystery story, but many complain the voice acting is flat and the colors are dull. The puzzles are mostly standard, though some hidden object scenes require inventory items, which is unusual for the genre. Opinions split on the amount of dialogue: some find it too heavy for a HOG, others enjoy the Dan Brown-like plot.
