Reception[]
Next Generation reviewed the PC version of the game, rating it one star out of five, and stated that "unless looking at a handful of pretty pictures and dying in countlessly unpredictable ways is your idea of fun, spend your money on something else."[1]
Entertainment Weekly gave the game an A- and described the game as a combination of Myst, Doom, and The 7th Guest. They wrote that the game is as addictive as any of the games it draws inspiration from.[2]
