What players say
Not the best of the Artifex Mundi games. Poor graphics, bad "story", and some illogical puzzles. Still playable if you have some time to waste…

Expected a lot of improvements based on the previous games, since this was my childhood series. There's a glitch at the cabin/shack where you cannot set fire to the chimney. From what I see in the forum, this glitch has been around for awhile and was never patched/fixed. The visuals also seem different from the previous games, the aesthetics are different to me.
