Its a fantastic puzzle quest point and click game. Puzzles are challenging, but logical if you think things through and use intuition. Save often because you can die in many amusing ways. The style and atmosphere are great for dark fantasy.

The game does what it sets out to do well: Create an immersive puzzle solving atmosphere set in a fantasy world that pays homage to the original game. The various difficulty options along with the addition of Yorick to provide optional hints help the player tailor the difficulty to the kind of experience that they are looking for. Visually, the game looks great, with a consistent aesthetic.
