One of the best games I've ever played..., 16 February 2002
9/10
Author: Ringthane from Chicago, IL

This is an absolute gem of a game. A bit of film noir, a bit of Mexican folklore combined. The combo makes this game as much fun as I've ever had on a computer. The characters are rich and interesting, and the dialogue is totally snappy. Dig on the Poetry in the Blue Casket for the best taste of this.
