The characters cannot win but instead must lose in the most ethical manner possible. The graphics are properly dark—the forgotten player is treated to forgotten twisted trees and a gloomy Egyptian burial tomb, a dark abandoned spaceship, a concentration camp, and a dark castle. The game's design is similar to most third-person games from this period, reminiscent of the old LucasArts SCUMM interface, with commands to choose from to interact with the interface and an easily accessible inventory where items can be highlighted and then used with a click of a command verb. forgotten The puzzles are inventory-based and quite fun (if you could call anything in this sick game fun; I almost hesitate to use the word). The problem with the puzzles is there is an incredible amount of pixel-hunting, which must be done correctly or each story grinds to a halt. This is not something Ellison obviously wrote into his story, but he probably would be perfectly happy with it, allowing for the torture of the player along with the five characters.
