Well, I didn't think it was so terrible... but then that was back when I'd played all the other games on my computer and had hours to spend constantly trying get through a maze or whatever.
Actually, the game really was worth it. Of course, there were times when your inventory has like 5 "Keys" and only the right key opens the right lock. And when there's a couple of lockers next to each other its an issue.
TINY... TINY SPOILER IN NEXT PARAGRAPH (I hate people who put spoilers in with no warning)
I eventually got tired of the game when I was trapped in a room above the lions den. Actually, I clicked 'move' and just about everything imaginable on the screen, after literally hours of playing the game, and playing the game again all the way from the start, seeing if I'd missed anything. Only recently did I decide to go to a walkthrough. Turns out you have to move a particular rock near the dead guy's knee.. and there was absolutely nothing to indicate that was what you have to do.
I eventually got so pissed at the game, also that it ran so badly after I upgraded my computer that I didn't bother finishing it.
However, it will be good fun to play
.... the plot is very compelling
