This game is amazing. very nostalgic. first lets start with the "bad". its a short game. i finished it in about 8 hrs. so based on that alone, i could question buying it at full price. that being said, you never feel like anything is missing from the story/game or rushed. it all feels complete. they told a great little story without a lot of fluff. so you dont feel like youre missing out on anything despite it being short. now the good. pretty much everything else. the story is great. the graphics are nice. the voice acting is phenomenal. the puzzles are a bit on the easy side. which personally id prefer that over a bunch of convoluted puzzles that make no sense and require a walkthrough just to get past. these puzzles actually make sense. which is why they seem so easy. the layout of the game is also very nice. some of these type games have huge areas and all you can do is slowly walk. half your game time is spent just walking. you do walk in this game but the levels are laid out ...

User Reviews
Fun and well made adventure game. I enjoyed the story and characters, the puzzles and the length of the game. Most puzzles were pretty straight forward, would've enjoyed a bit more of a challenge.
Linux: Ran flawlessly Great little Point & Click that doesn't take itself too seriously and doesn't depend too much on comedy. Good voice acting throughout. Thank you for including a demo or I'd likely have never tried this. Grade: B+
Excellent game concept. puzzzles a bit easy with too many hints in dialog but very entertaining, till the crappy ending. Seriously i have to climb all 18 floors of stairs. Still i enjoyed it.
Made in S(love)nia!
Well-made adventure game; funny, engaging, good graphics and good voice acting (English). A couple of puzzles were a bit repetitive (e.g. do variations of the same logic puzzle to engage 5 different monoliths, and variations of another puzzle to move upwards multiple steps onto different platforms), but all in all it was a very enjoyable game. Took me about 8 hours to finish, without walkthroughs or hints.
Where actually does anyone communicate with anyone else using dialogues like these? They are so stilted and go on, and on... I just had to click through five minutes of crap about John Keats which was apparently kind of a conversational knick-knack in this conversational whatnot of a game. Is this what it's like to be Slovenian? Because that would be pretty great, to live in a place where being confidently awkward for longer than necessary was the expected way to behave. Go Slovenia. The game is kind of crazy-making though.
Had a great time playing this game with my kids
Loved the game, had a great story!
pretty solid adventure game, some interesting puzzles, i'd say a tad too hand-holdy at times and just a bit easy in general, but the story and visuals are very good
