So should you take a look at this title? It's certainly not for everyone. If you are looking for a traditional adventure or even a game packed with puzzles as with The 7th Guest/11th Hour then I'd look elsewhere. On the other hand, if you are fascinated by the macabre or are one of the many fans of Edgar Allan Poe then give it a try. The Dark Eye has excellent graphics and is very weird at times, almost to the point of being surrealistic. The characters are strange too and as far as their looks are concerned (not their deeds) you will either love them immediately or hopefully grow to love them. On the whole this title does quite a fair job of introducing you to a great master of murder, madness and mayhem.
