Aaaaarrrggghhh! I'm stuck!

The Good
I got ths game from Steam because I liked the idea behind it, a scientist who does not believe in magic having to deal with the reality of it. I was not disappointed. It is a well written story and the pacing and puzzles are just about right. It is a longer game than I expected too.

The Bad
A couple of the puzzles had me scratching my head and searching every location trying many, many combinations of items in locations. This is not too much of a problem for me but it is a warning - the game offers zero hints and there is no skip/auto advance feature.

The Bottom Line
This is a good game.

OK I am stuck and I am frustrated. I got stuck four days ago and I have revisited the game half a dozen times and I still cannot make progress even after finding an on-line guide. That does not mean that the game is at fault and I still recommend it - just be aware that, like me, you may not finish it.
