Directly influenced by Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego, among other lovely retro point-and-clicks. Very cool art, with a very well-designed interface and great gameplay. Unfortunately the puzzle solutions are pretty unintuitive and just a bit extra silly for my taste, particularly the Mona Lisa one. The game is a bit weird about disability, too.

Beautiful graphics, great gameplay, haunting music. Surprisingly, I think the music really brought it down for me, reducing the zen puzzle aspect of the game in favour of drawing attention to the existential dread of what the player is really doing. Excellently done, but I stopped playing due to the melancholy it was inducing.
