What players say

The game was enjoyable with simple puzzles. Nothing was frustrating and the game took a little under 2 hours to beat playing very casually. The only problems I found with the game was the dialog progresses on its own if you take more than a few seconds to click the next button, and there was a glaring typo in the dialog near the end. I think it was worth the asking price .

Very old game, but it's not even as bad as some reviews say. I paid 20 cents, a really paltry expense for a point and click. 6/10 is enough for me. Still playable.
