It’s Istanbul NOT Constantinople!!

Wow. What a great game. There were some awkward puzzle moments that required a few UHL look-ups, but the story more than makes up for it. It’s a rich tale full of complex characters that reflect the complicated time period leading up to World War 1. It’s got suspense, politics. murder, romance, mystery and even some supernatural elements. Through all of it, your character evolves and tries to figure out what his roles in the many conflicts are going to be. The game leaves many things a mystery; letting you fill in the details. I’d be hard pressed to think of a game with a better story, dialog, and acting.

It takes some getting used to in the beginning, but for any adventure game fan this is a must play. Get it on Gametap, eBay, or borrow it from me; just make sure you play it.

Hooray for good games! Boo for people neglecting them and making them commercial failures!
