 Where is the rest? December 1, 2008
I loved playing this game. Great humour and graphics. However, I managed to finish it in two days.
Also, I did not know that this is only the first chapter out of supposedly 3!! This was not mentioned in the product description and I was highly disappointed when the game suddenly came to an end.
 Fun, funny and brilliant! November 26, 2008

If you like Grim Fandango, the Monkey Island series and The Dig, then this game is for you. The story begins with our protagonist Mona with her impertinant yet absolutely funny sidekick bat, Froderick, trying to find the means to escape the confines of Castle Warg and back to Paris.
The interface is similar to Curse of Monkey Island in which you point and click at various items and moving your character around. The background is nicely designed and the voice acting ranges from brilliant to absolutely hilarious. Unusually you can't really alter the screen resolution to the quality you want, in fact, the game plays to the resolution of your screen. (That's maybe because I was playing it on a 15.4 inch laptop).
The script in this is superb, a lot of humour that involves myself laughing to almost no end. Ingenius! Much like Grim Fandango. It is also directed by a former LucasArts worked Ben Tiller, who has done works on the Monkey Island series. This game lived up to my expectations.
The reasons why I didn't give them full marks were of two things:
1. The sound and graphics can be a bit buggy in terms of CG synching with the sounds
2. It's lastability... I managed to finish this in two days but it still feels a bit short. Don't get me wrong, it was actually a game worthy of me replaying (and that is saying a lot, not many games get that type of attention from me, only Castlevania: Aria and Dawn of Sorrow got that much replaying from me and I normally sell my games once completion).
But don't let this spoil you too much for the price you pay, it is actually really, really good value for money. I'm definitely getting a few copies as christmas gifts for a few friends I know that will definitely enjoy this game.
I can't wait for the sequel to come out, if it will come out that is, depending on whether it will get the reception it truly deserves (Shame the same couldn't be said for Psychonauts and that was awesome). You'll be a fool not to buy and play this game. And don't be afraid of the originality of games like these.
