i don't see what you all are talking about, calling the ENTIRE game illogical. the matches, yeah, that was a pain in the butt. and the toothpaste thing was completely retarded. but otherwise, it was a good game.
i loved this game, twisting the story by leaving it to our imagination, adding the end, deception also means depict one, scrambling the letters, i thought this game was amazingly done.
the strategy i used was:
just run through each floor, getting what is in the open, or things that are guarded by things you can kill before they hit you. this preserves your health. also, you should get angel wings soon, and any yellow chests, fight your way through anyone who might stand in your way. then, when you are on the brink of death, use your wings, and start with all the yellow items. a cowards way out, but a freind was having trouble, so i came up with it.
looking forward to a sequel, more floors, more weapons, more equipment, more baddies, and more fun!
