The value story
It has been discounted 75 times in the 8 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 70 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today's $0.99 at 80 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.
Value puts it in the top 45 percent of the games it competes with. It is cheaper than 62 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 65 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Enigmatis: The Ghosts of Maple Creek ($14.99, scores 52) and Syberia: The World Before ($39.99, scores 57) both outscore it.
What players say
Game not very well put together,. Requires too many random combinations of objects and leaps of fancy. Even talking to characters requires you to keep on clicking on them to get them to finish their conversations. Story good but let down too much randomness.

Not recommendable. One of the worst point and click adventures I ever played. Background drawings are quite pretty. Music, sound effects, and voice over are okay, The story is pretty shallow and mostly straightforward. Also it misses all realism concerning how the agency in question is working. What's really bad and gets very frustrating is the game play. You're forced along exactly one path and that one has a lot...
As with every City Interactive game, the graphics are great, the translation is dogwater, the voice acting is horrible, and the puzzles make no sense. But by Christ, I cannot stop playing these games. Objectively, it'll be one of the worst games you've ever played, but by the end you'll be in a significantly better mood because you played it. Play it after someone you love dies, you get laid off, or you get bad...
