Title: What went wrong?
Product review: I thoroughly enjoyed the first 'Cameron Files' game. It was atmospheric, the characters were quirky, and interesting, and the story line was reasonably consistent. It wasn't the best Adventure game I've ever played, but it gave me a few evenings of harmless amusement.As for the sequel......It seems incomplete. The story line has gaps, there are characters who appear, contribute nothing to the plot, then disappear (What was the telepathic Russian countess all about, for heaven's sake?). There are puzzles which lead nowhere - like the 'coded' message found on an Enigma machine, which turned out to be a depressingly simple cipher and which wasn't used later in the game. The settings were bland and uninteresting; the designers could have learned something from Riddle of the Sphinx.I can't help suspecting that it was rushed out in time for Christmas?Was it the worst Adventure game I've played? No. I reserve that honour for 'Jekyll and Hyde'. It was a close second, though.
