The game is not bad, but it exploits too many adventure sins, and the lack of hints makes it more frustrating than enjoyable.
I second everything AT said! Still, I can forgive a bad puzzle here and there but not when the story doesn't grab me... Sorry, Hollywood Monsters, I was excited about playing you but now off you go to the tail end of my backlog.
