From my child hood time playing this, to the music, and multiple dynamic ways to play this in not strict way. I love coming back to play this first one over and over to remember it again after a while, glad it had such along development over all and had so much detail put in too. Honestly wish the final book 3 ending was more open to different scenarios, but was still a fun game till the end anyways

April 2024

Very entertaining, lots of problems to solve, a lot of sleuthing, many ways to build character, a lot of play. I play this one over and over.
