An interesting and unique game with lots of ways to research and obtain info. It does give you the option to have higher levels of gameplay but they require more of your personal info so not for me. Still there is lots to do and sometimes can be a bit difficult. Overall a fun game which makes you sort of feel like your an agent.

Goddamn I love Alice and Smith games! Puzzles, Cryptology, Detective work and a shit tonne of googling. A game that, while playing, you start to ask "is this a game?" Absolutely love it!
