Fien sold the game to me on eBay a few years ago!

I'll echo that it was very artsy and surreal. Some of the techno music in certain screens was very catchy. I could only finish the actual adventure portion with the help of a walkthrough (some of the poetic clues were very obscure).

I never finished the second portion, where you trace letters of the alphabet to spell out various sayings. (This can only be done after finishing the adventure portion.) Players were also supposed to be able to piece together historical dates and references which supposedly led to some "Ultimate Solution", but there wound up being no actual prize awarded. (Also, I never understood if the numbers in the magic squares were relevant in any way.) I vaguely remember reading somewhere that even the original creators forgot how to reach the Ultimate Solution!
