Summary: MAC? I think no
Comment: Yes, the box does say that it is mac compatable, but I bought it for my dad for christmas, and he can not load it on his new MAC, not so happy about this.

Summary: Mind Destroyed
Comment: Definetly a mind cruncher. Save alot. Collect everything in every safe you crack. Different types of puzzles on each safe. They get harder on the second floor but you get used to the patterns! Have fun and remember to save your game along the way

Summary: Mental yoga
Comment: This game gives you exactly what it promises: lots of interesting puzzles to flex your brain with. It runs in parallel (if you get stuck on one safe, just go find another one), so you always feel like you're moving forward. And they're clever about hiding clues, but not cruel. Plus you get a fun reward at the end.

Oh, and save often.

Summary: Frustrating, and not that compelling
Comment: The story is that you have 24 hours to crack a safe in a house that is owned by a lock company that prides itself on its uncrackable safes. The clues to crack the final safe are distributed around the various other safes in the house.

The main problem with this game is that there is no real mystery to it - you just crack the safes, and that is it. So if you compare it to, say, the 7th Guest or Myst, there is no reason why you want to crack the puzzles, as there is no story to unravel. You're basically walking around an empty house, trying to find your way out.

I found the puzzles either too easy, or too difficult. Some of them were fun to unravel, others were simply a question of trying every combination until you found one that matches. But the difficult ones are definitely difficult enough to keep a gamer interested.

Summary: Do you like puzzles? Then this is your game!
Comment: If you like the games like Myst & Riven or puzzles & codes or both then you will love this game. The 3D image is nice and the background music is cool. There are hidden passages, doors and codes everywhere. And it is simply addicting!
