What players say
This game is pretty good for an old timey Flash "point and click". But it's really short. I did it in just over an hour with no hints. If the other "episodes" are just as short, they should be combined into one game for the price this "episode" alone costs (in today's prices). I recommend, but only at a steep package discount.
