Status : Offline | It gets a 2, and I feel generous giving it that. Another game that finds me at a loss to say anything positive about. A promising mystery turns into a strange scavenger hunt, often badly clued at best. At one point a character tells you to meet her somewhere, instead you have to do something completely different with almost no clue whatsoever.
And there's death without warning. You can literally die almost seconds after starting the game, which I never saw coming.
Hot spots come and go at times. Characters occasionally disappear and reappear.
I have the sequel, but I'm scared to try it after playing this.

...not to be confused with Keira Knightley

| Deleted User | A 4. Almost completely incomprehensible from a plot and gameplay standpoint, but I enjoyed many of the game's lines from a camp perspective. Play it for the unintentional hilarity of the poor voice acting and writing.
