I've got the torrent going at a decent enough speed, so I'll give you my first impressions in 2 hours and 26 minutes :D

Wow. A 1.2G download, followed by a lengthy unzip to reveal an .iso that installs the game. Long process, but the game really is worth it. The atmosphere is amazing, a black and white futuristic sci-fi noir film with deep western-style music like you would hear on Firefly. Definitely draws you in.As far as adventure games go, it's pretty standard fare: search for clues, examine stuff, pick up items, etc. Puzzles are about average difficulty. You have a few gadgets that are fun to use, such as the photo enhancer.As far as the FMV presentation, it isn't perfect (jaggies!), and it's used mostly for cutscenes large and small. Everything else: standard point and click. The acting is decent, which helps keep things interesting.Definitely worth checking out if you have any interest in adventure games. Kind of a big process to get it running, but it's all good. :-)

Yep, torrent is well seeded at the moment:-)What do you know about well seeded torrents? A well seeded torrent is when there are like a hundred hot Swedish chicks with T3 connections seeding a file and you're the only leecher. :-D

Nice game. Perfect style with some touch of Blade Runner (image enhancer puzzle). And this one has several endings.But the gameplay itself seems rather easy... I was expecting trouble on some screens but everything was solved with a couple of clicks without even touching the hint button. You can't fail and die, though that was a pretty feature of older FMV adventures.
