Status : Offline | yes, the box is deceptively NOT attractive. But most of the game is from your own eye-view, so very little view of the "french-type" artistry.
Just don't give up on the initial timed puzzles in the journey -- they are the only ones.
The game lets you keep any inventory on each restart. And when you figure out what triggered the timed sequences, you can just do a lot first to get you ready.
NO timed sequences for last 80-90% of game.

ANOTHER game to play - I've only got 20-30 waiting to be played!
This one does sound like a winner however!
I just may move it up on the list a bit!

| Deleted User | Yep, it's a good game, I like it. on't have much time to play at the moment, and I'm stuck at the maths puzzles anyway, : so it will be some time before I finish it. Developer Kheops is a great addition to the mainstream AG scene! But of course there's still a lot of room for more innovative games. I don't want all of my adventures to be Myst-style or Kheops-style. Diversity rules!

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

That IS a bit strange though, isn't it. I had to die several times before I'd done everything that needed to be done. Don't like that.

The One and Only Rule:
Strolling through your favorite games store, you should be able to pick a Myst-like game set in lonely worlds from a shelf to your left, a six-pack of Nancy Drews to your right. Loads of humorous inventory- and dialogue-based point&clickers in the next aisle. A great selection of FMV games. Two isles with innovative and experimental adventures. An edutainment section. Bargain bins filled to the brim with the great classics...

Status : Offline | Must say that it looks like a fair game. It is obviously made by the same crew as Return to Mysterious Island (same menu and interface).
The opening is a pretty intriguing starting point: you're in a spacecraft on your way to... where? Looks good. Thanks for the advice Corrigan2.

If it's point and click only, I'll try it.

Status : Offline | it's a 360 -- and all times puzzles can be redone very easily by left clicking -- which returns you to the moment the timer started (but with any new inventory items) you may have picked up in the last try.
It's a great interface.
