The gameplay is a standard point and click adventure, but the riddles are way more logical and thus, managable then other sierra games i have played, so that i was never to much frustrated by them.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

Other visuals are still pretty despite being dated, and I can forgive the bad greenscreening.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

Even now, listening to the soundtrack can transport you back to that eerie Bavarian countryside.
