This is a worthwhile buy at 90% off, but there's a potential game-breaking bug to be aware of: if you don't arrange the magnets correctly the first time in the detonation puzzle, they can become impossible to move later .
I'm always looking for a good point-and-click that's anywhere near as good as the Humongous games I played as a kid, and in a lot of respects this does come closer than most: the environments are pretty, most of the puzzles hit that sweet spot of being challenging-but-not-obnoxious (only most, though; see below); the soundtrack is good and a lot of the writing is cute. If you're a connoisseur of point-and-clicks, and it's on sale, give it a shot.
However, it has enough issues that I can't recommend it overall. I especially wouldn't want to give it to a kid.
Rufus is a twerp . Too much of one, too - he's never a nice person to anyone whatsoever, and the game frequently requires you to do things that range from suspect (screwing up your ex-girlfriend's life, stealing a *lot* of items) to downright evil. One of the more egregious cases of this is a puzzle where you must apply tranquilizer to a dart and use it to drug your ex-girlfriend so that you can steal from her , which I had to consult a walkthrough to find because it was such a nasty thing to do that I didn't believe it could possibly be required by the game.
In case you're wondering, the heroine is unconscious pretty much the whole time. Her brain and body are actively out of her control for the whole game - when her memories aren't being manipulated for plot purposes, she's lying about being unconscious, buxom fantasy fodder. The justification for this is very thin. It seems to me that the writers set out to parody the notion of a rakish hero and a token-y, non-participating heroine, but instead of satirizing those things they just.... did them. They aren't as clever as they think they are, and it's a shame - the art in this game deserves better than the story that they gave it.
