AGS Panel review for this game:
The AGS Review Panel has left a comment about this game: Good design & flow but difficult cryptic puzzles may leave some adventurers frustrated. Definitely worth a go if you do not expect to proceed through it too quickly.

Posted by bicilotti on 2010-04-25 at 16:00 (IP logged): Interesting idea, but unfortunately the riddles where generally way too difficult for me, requiring some knowledge (american history, literature) I admit I don't have. Posted by Valentijn on 2010-01-29 at 12:07 (IP logged): Nice graphics & music. The game is reminiscent of web-based puzzle games where you have to type the answer in the hyperlink to proceed, which can be very challenging and rewarding - but unfortunately this one is flawed in several aspects. The text parser is too selective, some questions do not really work if you're not from the USA, other questions aren't clearly phrased and the in-game hint system is never of any help. These things make playing this game more frustrating than anything else. There are lots of nice ideas in places though. Posted by Bulbapuck on 2010-01-28 at 10:44 (IP logged): Great game! Some of these puzzles I find myself thinking of on my spare time. And when you solve just one of these puzzles you feel great about it.
