Good Adventure game, solid voice acting, however its way too short.

I'm glad I only payed $4.99 for this game because if I paid retail I would have been upset. The game takes only 4 hours to complete, which is way too short even for adventure game standards.

You play as Sylvie a young archaeologist whose uncle goes missing right after he discovers some ancient artifacts. Sylvie must find out the mystery behind the artifacts in order to find her uncle.

This adventure game could have been a 10 if only they focused more on developing the story and characters. This is the first game of a series and it feels like the second game. Your just thrown into these characters lives without a little more background info.

The voice acting is solid the graphics are polished and the puzzles are easy.
This is a good game for a beginning adventure player.

I did however like it enough to want to play the next installment in the series The Tree of Life. I am hoping its a bit longer and more thought out than its predecessor.

If you like adventure games and the History Channel then this is a must play for you. Just be sure to check the bargain bin.
