I found so much wrong with this game, yet so much right. Everyone is right, the scenes are blurry, that is the biggest problem. But I bought it anyways... why, because it is the perfect game for this time of year, the storyline is good and I am just to tired of ancient egyptian and Incan mysteries! I have only 2 complaints with the game. The Blurryiness(which the further you get into the game, I found improved a bit) and the fact that it saves at your last completed level. The hints are not really a problem once you realize the 3 flies are on the outside of the building. True you never get more than 2 hints but the game is also untimed leaving plenty of time to look. It is a challenge to find these items where as in Joyville, I could click on items without even looking at the list and get all but 2 of them. It is dark and spooky (not suited to all audiences) but it seriously held my interest more than many of the games out there as of late. If you really get stuck and run out of hints, quit the game and it will take you back to the flies, collect them and re-enter. The list will be a bit different but not much and you should remember where most of the ones you just found are. You can then use your hint on the one you were stuck on. As I say, it has it's problems, had the potential to be an AWESOME game, but as it is, I still enjoyed playing it very much. I would have given it a 4 if the scenes were a wee bit clearer and it saved automatically. Give this Review a KudosReport as Inappropriate
