As a lover of point and click adventures games I'd been wanting to play this for a long time since it seemed to have the reputation as one of the best. With that being said, it was a bit disappointing overall.

Gameplay-wise it reminded me the most of Escape from Monkey Island, which I think is regarded as the worst entry of that franchise. And while I do remember that game somewhat fondly, I'd have to agree. It's honestly probably a bit worse than this, the only difference is I went into that game with zero expectations. But they're mostly on the same level I'd say.

With a bizarre, hard to follow story, baffling puzzles that I often had no chance of figuring out, and controls that were so slow that they made it even more impossible to try everything I could to figure out the solutions on my own. I think they did improve the input of the controls on the remaster, but the character still moves so slowly that I was often just twiddling my thumbs waiting for them to get across the screen.

The characters, setting, and story have a lot of creativity and charm, but I had a really hard time understanding what was going on, who was who, where we were going, and why any of this was happening. I think in another medium this story could have really shined, but I really struggled to connect with it here. It's not completely without merit, and the puzzles I enjoyed I did enjoy quite a bit. But I found myself mostly frustrated and confused between those moments of enjoyment.

I'm glad I played it and I think anyone who's interested in playing it should play it (with a walkthrough handy, just lower your expectations is all. As iconic as this is, I don't think it holds up very well. Glottis rocks, though.
