Not bad. Beautiful art (the style is a bit faux since the artist is clearly European but the scenes depicted are supposed to happen in America). The story is quite fun, the characters are solid and puzzles' difficulty is well balanced. I would have changed some things (for instance, having interconnected scenes instead of being sequential, and especially the amateurish music that is the weakest aspect in the game). But even considering the weaker points, I recommend the game. I'm having a lot of fun with it. PS I haven't played 164 hours as Steam says right now (clearly Steam counts the time the program is running although the user is not playing). But I think it can be finished in about 20 hours comfortably (without any guides or help).

Really great game with excellent graphics and awesome animations. Maybe the best song in any point-and-click adventure game. Aside from 2 or 3 spots with pixel hunting, the rest of the game has a moderate difficulty. It is now considered an all-time classic of its genre.

Decent story for a traditional graphic adventure game. Still worth playing after 20+ years of its release.

point-and-click adventure game in which student Brian Basco and Gina become entangled in a humorous and puzzling story of escaping criminals and searching for a mysterious Native American artifact. ✅I love point-and-click games like this ✅Interesting and engaging storyline ✅Very good graphics, considering this game was created in 2003 ✅Satisfying ending to the story ✅Very good audiovisuals, good music, sound design, and professional voice acting ✅Very good price for the game's content ✅Many colorful and eccentric side characters ✅Good portion of the puzzles are based on logical thinking ❌No option to highlight interactive objects, making some items difficult to find ❌Some puzzles require repeating the same steps ❌Some walkthroughs are sometimes necessary ❌Little variety in locations in chapters 3-6 ❌The main character (Brian Basco) is uninteresting and often naive ❌The game forces a single, specific solution to puzzles, even if there are other logical solutions ✅✅✅ Verdict: Terrible , Bad , Mediocre , Decent , Good , Very Good (Rating scale for short games, retro indie simulator games and similar) If you'd like to see more of my reviews, you can find them on my curator page: [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45994324/admin/reviews_manage/]CuratorKingViking and on my group: [url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/CuratorKingViking]GroupKingViking If you have any questions about my reviews, feel free to ask.

I remember playing this game a couple years ago Some puzzles were pretty hard to solve, but satisfaction I got after beating the game was certainly worth it
