Nice but short

The adventure is very nice and the particular game system is based on notes. The plot is initially mysterious and gradually the various aspects become clearer and there are also some dark touches. However the game is quite short: it is about 3 hours of play but it is repeatable on different difficulty levels. In any case I think it is a title that is worth playing to rediscover the early years of graphic adventures.

Trivia
The instruction manual promises an extra scene if the game is played through in expert mode. This extra scene occurs when Cobb removes Bobbin's cloak. We can now see what happens to Cobb, rather than it happening offscreen. In the CD version, this scene is included in all versions.

Quotes
Chaos: Enough! I lose patience in the presence of inferior beings. You will now instruct me in the use of this fascinating instrument.
Bobbin Threadbare: Over my dead body!
Chaos: Preference noted.

Crazy credits
Chaos throws the blade of the scythe at the end of the game. He misses the swans, but it continues to fly over the sky, until it stops and becomes the moon.

Alternate versions
Published in 1990 on 5.25 inch floppies or 3.5 inch disks with midi music, but no voice. Then re-released on CD in 1992 with voice and enhanced graphics and music. The original game included a wonderful 30 minute stereo audio tape Background Drama. The drama was later bundled with the CD release of the game, but the later re-prints and budget releases of the game didn't feature it in any format.
