It wasn't really a return for me, I'd not been there before. 4 years ago we'd just got our brand new CD-ROM drive for our PC, and this game was included. It took me in much more than the other game, The 7th Guest.
I remember at the time I was impressed with the graphics, though by today's standards the still backgrounds are pixellated and the video isn't that great. Still, it very much beat my previous graphical text-adventure experience: The Dallas Quest on TRS-80.
The game was quite boggling, figuring out what in the world to do with the places you can go, the items you have, and the things you can manipulate. I never beat it, myself. Perhaps I'll try again, someday. I've lost the little booklet that came with it, though, and sometimes the game will ask you questions from it (as a piracy barrier, I assume), though I'm sure I can find that information somewhere.
There really isn't much in the way of music; ambient noise and speech is what you'll run across most.
The game is plain weird. Not in a really flamboyant way like in Parappa, but half-bridges, fake pain medication commercials, battery-powered crystal balls, and other oddities build themselves a strange world.
The puzzles are really the heart of this game, and I'm sure it can be found cheap now. Give it a try.
