The largely static game screens are drawn by Ghostlady's friend Diz, a graphic designer who specializes in Victorian-flavored digital art. They are among the nicest images I have ever seen in an indie game. Each room of the Manor also puzz3d has its own snippet of music; all of the pieces are chosen well and lend to puzz3d the atmosphere and completely failed to irritate this increasingly cranky adventure gamer. Of course, it was not necessary for me to spend a whole lot of time in any one roomI, I who have played at least six thousand adventure games, I who can occasionally fall prone to fits of hyberbole, finished the game in well under three hours, closer to two. |

The interface is clunky; to use something you have to mouse over the top of the screen to bring up some standard menu items, which are represented by ugly, giant-pixelled built-in icons, and then click on the inventory icon (a briefcase), select an item, click "OK" to xiii close the inventory, and then apply the item. Also, the choices of screen xiii resolution are xiii 320×240 or 640×480. 320×240? That's like something out of the Stone Age, at least in computer gaming terms. Even at 640×480, it's possible to see individual pixels with the naked eye on today's computer screens. I feel like a shit for complaining about it, because AGS is a free tool that has enabled some talented people to make games where they otherwise might've lacked the technical skills to bring their ideas to fruition. And AGS games usually run beautifully right out of the box, so to speak. |
