Posted by Punkkommando77 on 2009-10-21 at 18:31 (IP logged): is a great game , the hypnotist is a incredible idea , nice puzzle and gui , i love the story and the characters Posted by CosmoQueen on 2008-02-20 at 23:27 (IP logged): My only problem with this game is that it wasn't longer! It was incredibly, fantastically fun! And one of the most original plots I've ever seen. Posted by Groogokk on 2007-11-21 at 22:03 (IP logged): Very well done. A worthy pick of the month. If the developers can spare the time, I'd recommend adding some audio to further enhance the high degree of immersion. Posted by Marion on 2007-11-20 at 11:27 (IP logged): Really great game, too short but very enjoyable ! Nice graphics, nice puzzles, not too hard, I like using the Memo :) Posted by Blu Aardvark on 2007-11-20 at 05:45 (IP logged): Excellent game, with a good classic adventure game feel. I loved the concept of the memo, and the storyline was well thought-out. My only gripe, if you could call it that, was that the game was so short. Still, I would definitely recommend it. Posted by Jackdaw88 on 2007-11-12 at 11:45 (IP logged): This was an excellent game - well conceived and sufficiently taxing to make it a challenge. The concept of the memo was fantastic. Truly unique. Posted by Stupot on 2007-11-10 at 13:13 (IP logged): Awesome GUIs. And the Memo innovation was a master-stroke. The dialogue was well written (especially the Australianisms, and the puzzles were just right. Although the backgrounds were pretty, they didn't look like a cruise ship. And there was absolutely no sound whatsoever, but considering it was all done in under a month this is definitely one worth playing. Good job boys. Posted by Lucifiel on 2007-11-09 at 18:55 (IP logged): Interesting ideas there: I really liked the device and I'd love to see an even more polished version of it. And it was a pity that the length of the game did the story no justice. :) Ah well, I'm sure your next game will be even more fabulous! Posted by Pierre HOPQUIN on 2007-11-03 at 07:52 (IP logged): A must play, the creators of the game took the time to provide us a solid storyline, characters with personnality and quality drawings. This give a overall very good impression, the game is scripted well and misses nothing ... and oh ! All the hotspots get a description, this is valuable :) Very Nice game !! I've been that surprised since Yatzee's Posted by paperfrogs on 2007-11-01 at 22:52 (IP logged): This game's just great. It's like an Aussy famous five. I like how if you get stuck you can ask your friends for help and they'll give you tips. The memo is a great idea too. Posted by Tinkerer on 2007-10-24 at 19:50 (IP logged): The only problem with this game is the length... It's way too short. Great characters, really original ideas, great graphics, good attention to details. Posted by mr.me on 2007-10-18 at 20:42 (IP logged): Awesome game! Some music would have been nice, but the game was fine without it. I do wish that there were more freedom with the memo(letting you do what you want to with all or most of the memories), and maybe each thing you do with the memo effects the way the story progresses? This might be something you want to incorporate into the sequel or prequel, if you decide to make one. Posted by mordalles on 2007-10-05 at 22:29 (IP logged): I really enjoyed this mags game. The memo was something I really found interesting. The ability to change people's memories is a great idea. and it was well implemented. and dialogue and artwork was really well done! thanks. Posted by paolo on 2007-09-27 at 10:20 (IP logged): The bug TassieDevil mentions has been fixed - anyone downloading the game now should not have the same problem. Posted by TassieDevil on 2007-09-26 at 23:23 (IP logged): Great game, the disappearing gui bug stopped me a little bit but not the enjoyment. Well Done! Posted by sputnik-kaputt on 2007-09-25 at 15:43 (IP logged): Nice, really. I love it when game producers do some research for their games (or simply put in some of their knowledge) to add to the atmosphere, on top of that I loved the friendly attitude of the game - the bad guys are not bloodthirsty killers, nobody gets hurt, no violence needed to look cool. I'm looking forward to another game by you guys, maybe you'll find somebody to create some music for you. Thanks for this game! Posted by Phil on 2007-09-25 at 00:07 (IP logged): Great game! Puzzles weren't too easy and not too challenging! You got to play it! Posted by Phil on 2007-09-25 at 00:05 (IP logged): Great Game and the puzzles were fair meaning not too easy and not too challenging! You got to play it! Posted by ThatOneChick87 on 2007-09-24 at 23:40 (IP logged): Loved this game. It was very humorous and I liked the graphics. I would like to see these 3 characters in another adventure, I didn't want it to end. Also, I loved the memo.
