I posted some early comments, and then final impressions back when I played the game. My advice: don't play in "adventure" mode; without the (very loose) time constraint, you risk getting lost in the boring and repetitive conversations; having some time pressure forces you to actually think a bit about what you could do instead of just talking to the characters at random.

Im actually a little dissapointed this game wont be out in UK before 2008.This was one game i was looking forward to.And although ive got quite a back log of 30 adventure games to play,maybe its a sign to give me the oppertunity to get through some ive yet to play.Just since i played the Syberia games a few year ago.I always get a bit excited when a new game by Benoit Sokal comes along


On another note why aint there no english demo when theres german,french & italian.This really annoys me when they dont seem to bother releasing a demo in english any more

I'm taking a wild stab here at that it's because 1. different publisher for the above listed countries as opposed to the UK/ US 2. Less peeps play adventures in English countries hence won't sell that well anyway hence no rush for the select few.

I played the German demo. It seemed pretty good and had some unique elements. Maybe if it gets really good reviews I'll pick it up, but otherwise I was thinking of skipping this one.

A good tip for those who still have to play this (and along the lines of what Kurufinwe said): play it as a detective. Don't go around questioning everyone about everything as it will end up extremely long-winded and boring, with a lot of walking around. Try to think about your next step as a detective would, and the adventure will be a lot more fun and rewarding.

I've been playing the english version since Friday. Love it!

I'm gonna finish it today I think, since I'm at the last chapter. It was pretty easy tbh, but still very entertaining

Pirates make me angry. No offense but I wouldn't mind if the punishment were lethal injection.
