Worst game ever, and I don't say that lightly. The game mechanics SUCK! It's not buggy, shit just doesn't work properly. It's like the game was just rushed out the door without checking that everything works as it should every time. For example, most pick up items are either highlighted or they flash white, but when you move your mouse over it, nothing happens. At least that's what happened to me SEVERAL TIMES, too many times. I've never had that problem before, ever. Not like this. On some items, I had to click on them dozens of times. I'm not even kidding. When you solve a puzzle and the item becomes available, such as a key, the key will start flashing white, and most of the time I had to click and click and click in order to pick it up. Sometimes when you hit on something the cursor will turn into a hand, but the pointer doesn't go away.... you'll have both a pointer AND a hand but they're several inches apart moving simultaneously, so you're not sure which one you're supposed to be placing over the item you need to interact with. And doors, you have to pan your mouse all over them just to learn if they're locked or not. If they're locked, you see a lock icon, if they open, you see a hand... but often you have to move all over the damn door just to get the icon and open the door if it's unlocked. Logically, the icon should appear right around the knob, but that's not always the case. After solving one puzzle, the key I needed came out and I must have clicked on it a hundred times as it was flashing, but it would not release. I couldn't pick it up. I finally gave up and quit the fucking game. I can't stick with a game I'm screaming at and getting so frustrated I could spit nails. Oh, and the English translation is easily the worst I've ever seen. I understand that words or phrases can get lost in translation, and I have some tolerance for imperfect translation, but in this game it was REALLY BAD. So, this is a HELL NO for me. Don't waste your money or time.
