Posted by Vertigoaddict on 2007-11-19 at 06:49 (IP logged): 'There's always time for more ambitious projects' --quoted Nacho, 2007 Posted by jkohen on 2007-11-04 at 10:26 (IP logged): A bad attempt at scare. The game world lacks content, so I never got to feel in the shoes of the protagonist, and thus the ending felt meaningless. Not only the game has no puzzles, but in also looking at things gives no feedback (except in one single place) and the talk icon is totally unnecessary (it only is needed once and you only get one dialogue option anyway). It's a decent attempt for a first game and shows that there is a lot of potential and ideas, but I did not enjoy it. Posted by Bicilotti on 2007-11-01 at 06:21 (IP logged): The idea is a little bit a cliché, and most importantly no puzzles at all. Nevertheless the effort is remarkable and the visual style intriguing, so I hope we will hear soon a better developed Jacob story Posted by TassieDevil on 2007-10-25 at 02:09 (IP logged): Boring... no puzzles, just dialogue - weak storyline. Sometimes it is very difficult to change rooms.
