This games reminds me the golden age of P&C, when you had to look for strange pixels in the scene and talk to all mobs if you wanted to get through - and sometimes it was not enough though, you had to... well, think. Still, it is not just a sweet for nostalgic forties: the dark ambience, the geekiness level (sorry, we say nerd) at some points, the mixing between cultural references and the message(s) it holds make it far more complex than a Sam&Max or Rincewind's adventure - may their names be praised. I did not find it that hard, some puzzles are tough but you always have all the cards in hand. On top of that the facts that it was done by a team of three (!!!) among which we find MASTER BOOT RECORD makes it a strong hit for me.
