Boo!
I was so excited... it looked so promising... the environments were great, ambience was sufficiently spooky, I was stoked. Then I couldn't figure out the very first thing without the walkthrough (god forbid you don't click on the guard at the right time). Okay, moving on. Then there was no clue to the generator, which others have complained about but I was lucky enough to have been trying multiples of five and got it without cheating. Then I discover it's one of those games where you can't pick things up until the game wants you to, which potentially nullifies the pixel-checking you do on each screen as soon as something gets accomplished. The safe- ahh the safe... here i was thinking it was clockwise, then counter, then clockwise again. Nope, two rings, which didn't even register on my mouse at first. Then come to find out your clues are wrong! Your clues state "First is two, 2nd = 3, third is first and fourth, 4 = twice first, five equal second" Therefore, the code should be 23643 (third is first and fourth means third is 2 and twice 2, or 4, which is six). however the walkthrough shows the code to be 23463, which I cannot get to make sense from said clues (i.e., the clue for the third number (1st and 4th) by your answer would mean it is 8, not 6 which is right, OR 4, which is your answer). Very sloppy! The safe is hard enough without false clues to retard the process!!!! Got frustrated, tried to read reviews, which unloaded the game (stupid me). So I jump back to it, prepare to run-through it all again to that point, and lo and behold if you turn on the generator before grabbing the scissors, they disappear! After a while I came back, gave it a third and final runthrough, found the pentagram clues to be fairly off-kilter (recommend one color, recommend against another, but it's the third color that does the trick... hmm). And a clue SOMEWHERE to tell which symbols are called what would have been nice. All in all, meh. Such potential, I can't wait to see what happens when you really apply yourself.
