Brilliant!

I can't seem to get any further than getting the pipe and the generator, though. That's really early in the game so I feel a little silly

Any hints?

Thanks for the positive feedback.

Forgot to mention this.

I would appreciate if you could share hints via private messages and keep these comments spoilers free. Thanks.

And don't worry. I'll help anyone who is desperately stuck....via private messages.

Style is great, dramatic and intense. Menu layout is superb. Won't rate till I play it through.

There's at least one spelling error

I feel some of the cut scenes go by too fast to read but I just read slow.

Weird ending. Really really weird. I wish it went on a little longer. Maybe I was expecting too much but the end seems to come out of nowhere, nothing was really explained.

Took me ages to get to near the end since there is a screen that lets you use the arrows to move rather than the walking man icon like most others - I thought those arrows were only for the main map and going back from screens to the main map.

The game loses a star for telling me I was stupid! (not really, but that's pretty low!)

[[[SPOILERS? possibly]]]

Also , I didn't use half the items for anything, nor did I need the computer (though that section impressed me, awesome! Despite not getting anywhere with it, I loved it)...

Version update. Neuro indirectly pointed me to a bug. One of the game triggers wasn't reset properly so if you "solved" it in one game, you didn't have to in another (new) game. Hopefully nobody experienced this bug.

How convienent, I felt like playing a game of this genre. I was going to go play Duty And Beyond or The White Chamber, but I suppose this will be my resort.
I'll tell you what I think later.

What a great game! The beginning is quite slow but the atmosphere kept me interested. It looks like Gridquest is running away with GOTW this week but hopefully this game won't go unnoticed.

BTW Nim, finished the game? Because I share these few secrets with people who finished or came close to finishing the game. Send me a message.
