I still have warm memories of getting my hands on the new-release demo of this one near the end of '95, and it was...almost fun. Having never experienced 7th Guest, nearly all of the sequel's story was lost on me, but I wasted a fair amount of time on it while using my workplace computer, to boot. I'd be curious to see if it even boots on Steam now.
the FMVs are camp and the movement/navigation is an improvement coming from The 7th Guest. however, they doubled down on the diabolical puzzles with there being a handful of truly awful ones.
i'll dip my toes in with the fan game just to see the whole series through but i don't think i'll return to this in game form. might watch a youtube video of the video sequences though.
