Not worth my time.

I found this game to be completely addictive, and played it from start to finish in a single evening. At first I wasn't sure what to expect when I saw the title, but the eerie mood and the tarot cards drew me in, and then I was swept away. This was one of the most fun games I've played in a long time, and although it's very different than typical puzzle or adventure games, I thought it was well worth the time and price to play it! :)

I loved the story and enjoyed the game play. I wish the graphics could have been a little more detailed, but I'm sure they were trying to keep the size of the download from becoming prohibitively large.

nice review. although i'd never give it 4 stars in gameplay, it bored me to death. i'm very open for new gameplay elements in adventures, but this is just dull. and you forgot to mention how horrible tiny the resolution of the videos is, another big minus in my opinion.
