I was really impressed by the length of the game, but eventually I just thought it was too big. And not enough guidance for a lot of it. Checking areas and talking to people repeatedly gets annoying. A lot of the places where the items were hidden did not give any hint whatsoever to having anything of value before hand. Wandering aimlessly is not a plus.

The kind of features that "assassin" phone has, I wouldn't mind paying 25 grand either. Then again, I'm not a sniper assassin... :P

The one thing about this game. She randomly always gets exactly the little uncommon things she looks for. "Oh! heres some random screws you can use to blunt down and give to Cody!" says the dirty theater man. great game otherwise

good game, amazing plotline and music, though the gameplay could use some work, like the accelerator in the car minigame is really glitchy, especially going forward, also i do agree with watto in the whole, check every square, timed out items, ect. i ran into multiple dead ends where i pretty much juct ttied to use every item with every item, andd every place/person i knew was worthwhile interacting with, great game, though work on the gameplay would be nice

One of the most frustrating moments of my life was when I repeatedly clicked on the shop shelf with *batteries* on it. Dear Anaksha, if you are fine poisoning a guy in cold blood just because you suspect him of being a drug dealer, has it ever crossed your brilliant mind that you can actually steal this battery? Just saying...

Don't you think it's a bit strange how she pays 25 grand for the cellphone but only brings in 15 dollars in the game?

Great game. Some items are available at certain locations at certain times, but it's not that annoying. Reminds a lot of Leisure suit Larry 1 !! Wow I'm getting really old...

ARIFROCKS indeed... 5/5 - at first I didn't think I would finish the game, but it's strangely good at drawing one into it! Totally reminds me of the good old ---- Quest games, kings - space - police...
They drive you crazy when you can't find the one tiny little thing needed to go on, but you just can't quit them! I think I spent about 7 hours on the game myself before hitting the walkthru, just to find I was only a few steps away from the end lol...

3 whole days long I'm STILL looking for that organic thing that ... lemme check ... umm ... Oh, CINDY wants. How to find it? 3 DAYS I said! I can't find it!
How the hell in the world can I know the 4th code letter otherwise?

Now that I've played through the game, I can say it's just gripping. Like most people, at start of the game I didn't want to read much and I needed a little starter help by the walkthrough. Also the look-at-every-spot is annoying but didn't even hurt the gameplay. Story is 5/5. Graphics...OK, who likes this pixel-by-pixel-graphic...could've been a little smaller pixels for more details. At least I can say that I've found 58/60 virgo symbols. ^^ Keep it up!

This is a ripoff of Leisure Suit Larry (first game, Sierra version) but without the writing. Graphics and layout are almost identical, storyline is different... disappointing

1) I really enjoyed the music in the Shop.
2) I enjoyed the dialogue. I thought it was mostly fun and comical :), despite the convo with the cult lunatic and couple other instances.
3) The excitement of the game went down over time. It was decently long and somewhat chaotic searching many a pixel just to move on to the next task.
4) Though this game may have "850 possible solutions," I highly doubt many people will play it again to make sure they get all the possible points, let alone to try out some of the other "solutions". My game took around 2 hours.
5) It seems like many others came up with 59/60 Virgo signs. In the room # 2 when we first get the assassin, are there 1 or two signs there? Otherwise, i have no clue. Also, I'd be bummed if there wasn't a cool reward for finding all of them (like a clothes change, at the very least)
6) Do the splint/tweezers/scissors/pen/old phone have a use?
Thanks for the feedback. I've taken your words into account and I agree with the 'pixel hunting' issue. I'm working on the third game in the series at the moment which hopefully won't have that problem. The missing Virgo symbol was probably in the little grey hallway before the apartment. There's a full list of symbols and walkthrough on the anaksha forum. Also the items you mentioned do have a use in some of the other puzzle paths.
