I just played through this for the second time, and I love it. Not only is it a fun concept, but it also makes me appreciate the adventure genre even more.

I can recommend this any day. :)

I enjoyed this game more than I expected as I am not a great fan of the older low res games and the rather clumsy Sierra style interface. It's the idea that makes this game and the neat way it is executed. I liked the main the character, Thalia (a sassy and capable female lead. nice!) and the different game styles were used to good effect. I wish it had been a little longer.

What a thoroughly wonderful adventure. It successfully takes us on a tour down nostalgia lane, whilst keeping the player interested and involved and tying together a plethora of retro adventure game scenarios.

One of the most memorable AGS games I've played in quite some time. I can only hope there will be more stories to tell for Thalia James in the future. Thank you for making this, it was deeply appriciated.

Ah, this game opened up something deep inside me. So many memories from past games, but all are memories from long ago.

Am I wrong in thinking attention spans have been reduced in latter generations that the adventure game has suffered as a result.

Either way I loved playing this game. I found it very moving.

Very good in many ways - superb animation, probably the best ever in AGS (for the main character in high-res at least). Very good soundtrack, and I loved going through all the locations from old games I've played.

That said it could be improved a lot, mainly in terms of puzzle design, and scope. It felt too restrictive considering the huge scope of all adventure games, and the extremely linear design of the puzzles was a bit of a turnoff for me.

Still, it was a very fun game overall and I'd love to see an expanded sequel or anything more from you. Kudos, and keep up the good work.

A good game, I like the idea of visiting old video games. But I think the player has not much to do, it's more like a long cinematic. A few more puzzles should have been good.

I felt torn what to put for graphics, since it's mostly ripped sprites, even if it's for a good reason. I did enjoy all the original animations in the game, they were very smooth and well-done! I also found it entertaining getting to be so many different resolutions. :)

The gameplay was a little unbalanced, I think...the puzzles alternated between being told exactly what to do and where to go, then solving a very simple get-the-object sort of puzzle, being pulled along automatically to the next plot point, and then suddenly obscure solutions, like the bit on the stairs at the end.

There were also a couple things I wouldn't have even known were there without reading the walkthrough, like the tar or the door in the Rex Nebular room.

The plot in general was good, I just feel that so much more could have been done with this game... I'd love to see a more in-depth sequel made someday! The exposition at the end was kind of slow and bulky, and the un-skippable dialogue in the scene with Ichabod at the very end drags and drags.

Overall, it was a good game, good plot concept, and excellent animations, and I hope we'll see Miss James again! :

What a great game. A great lot of work was put into this game, especially the animations, and the attention to detail. Neat and novel characters, brilliant and novel plot idea. The whole thing was excellently balanced, too.
Chris Jones (or somebody) should put that logo "Semper Adventum Ludicrum" on his website. It's great! Thank you for making this game and promoting adventures (the GOOD kind), i really enjoyed traveling through all those adventures i've played before!

Awesome, one of the finest quality games you will have seen on AGS. Great story, dialogue, animations and humour. The puzzles are rather straightforward but I have no problem with that. Play this now!
