About the game
Unravel one of the greatest mysteries of our time! On the 30th June 1908 an explosion with the combined energy of 2000 Hiroshima bombs rocked the region of Tunguska in Central Siberia and felled over 6,000 square km of trees. The explosion could be heard from as far as 1,000km away.

What players say
"Daddy!" Gameplay is fun, and the puzzles are mostly good. Be prepared for pixel hunting. (Good luck finding the match on the ground!) Value: The game is really long, so you are definitely getting your money's worth. CONS: The writing and voice acting are atrocious. They really hold this game back. Game would have been much better without any voice acting. Because of those cons, there's no way I'll play this game...

very mediocre point&click. the only justification for buying this is the fact that it is a very niche genre and i guess some people might want to play every single somewhat enjoyable point&click? stay aware if you're not an absolute hardcore fan of the genre. basically a bunch of randoms enjoyed "the broken sword", went "HEY WHAT IF WE COPY THIS CLASSIC ALMOST 1 BY 1, IRELAND PUB SCENE AND ALL" and replaced george...
Pros Good graphics. Great puzzles not too easy. if you sit and think long enough and check everything the answers are all there. For an old game its brilliant. Cons Screen size does not seem adjustable and can upset the desktop.
Steam reviews, mixed to its ratio and rotated daily. Opinions are theirs.
