Not really. I started and it didn't have the 'initial grab' to keep me going. I probably would have had another go but I forgot all about it.

I used to like adventure games, but the very few that surface these days don't seem to quite cut it. I absolutely loved the Zork games right up to Grand Inquisitor  and I played all the Myst series plus Grim Fandango (brilliant) and loads of others. My son pointed me at Thimbleweed Park recently, but I'd need a lot of convincing that the nostalgia pull of shitty old-DOS-alike graphics is a bonus. There are a few others I might take a look at.

I may give Obduction a go, although I seen mixed reviews and apparently it's very demanding on the old PC which since I have and old i5 and a (very) budget Nvidia card, may be a problem.

Looks interesting, completely unplayable on my setup.

Yeah, now that I've read a bit more, I think it would be doubtful on mine. What's worse is that it has shipped with a huge fistful of bugs and glitches. Pity really.
