Status : Online | Based only on puzzles, plot, graphics, etc., it would probably score lower, but the atmosphere alone boosts it to at least an 8. It is one seriously spooky game.
It would definitely have got a 9 if the ending hadn't been a tiny bit of an anticlimax.

I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.

| Deleted User | I gave it an 8. Changed it to a 9 when I remembered a unique, outstanding puzzle. But I agree, the ending was nothing to write home about. So now I want to go back to 8.

I gave it a solid 8 too.
The graphics were very basic by today's standards and the whole game takes place in a small area. But it still has terrific atmosphere, an interesting story and a wonderfully eerie feeling. I also loved the puzzles and the use of perfectly placed sound effects added a lot to the experience.
Cheers, Terry

| Deleted User | I gave it a 9. It might have lacked a bit in the puzzle department and the ending was neither to my taste, but I gave extra points for the atmosphere and especially for the horror effects.

Status : Online | I would give it a 10. It's my most favorite game!! (I have lots of faves! But this is my MOST favorite.) The storyline was so immersive, and the puzzles were very creepy. All those runes blur together, and it's weird. The graphics were fine to me, but I can see why people say they're pretty basic. I liked the point-and-click style, and the atmosphere. Like Colpet said, considering that only one guy made it, it is beyond amazing. The ending wasn't very satisfying at first...but I thought about it and went through it again, and it seemed better. The credits music is very good. 10 for me!!!

I enjoyed it. It has atmosphere by the bucketload
The only slight disapointment for me was the graphics, as already mentioned above. But then again i played this straight after Return to Mysterious Island, which is gorgeous, so it's understandable
