Missing February 14, 2008
Very good game, gives you arcade type games. You have to search the internet for clues to solve the puzzles. Some parts of the game seemed too hard, I had to search online for solutions in order to get past sections of it. I would recommend this game if you like time consuming games.
 Missed opportunity: unplayable game February 1, 2008
I love adventure games and played over 20 of them, never leaving even one unfinished. From the reviews, I gathered that this game would be an interesting and stimulating new experience within the genre. I know that many people enjoyed the game and admitted to little or no difficulties finishing it.
So, what is wrong with me? With considerable trouble and stubborn tenacity, I managed to get to the point of becoming initiated in the game and even completed the first 6 sections of the second chapter (called AQUA). However, for the life of me, I could not advance with any of the last 3 sections of this chapter: 1. The first section (OUPHISIT) in this group would not give me the expected letters in the circles, no matter what I did to them. 2. Another set of floating circles in the following section, called SOTHIR, got together and lit up the Saint Sophia, but the game would not advance. 3. Finally, the word SOLINVICTUS in the last section of this group, called CHNOUPH, would always be destroyed by the fast moving "killer stars". Even my teenage son, well trained in first person shooting games and the likes, could not get further than SOLIN.... - could it be that my 2.13 GHz Duo Core processor accelerates the animation of these minigames too much?? -. I tried very hard, using walkthroughs and sending 2 e-mails to the game support. There was no reply from them and the tech support number in Toronto is off the hook until sometimes in February of 2008. So, to preserve my sanity, I uninstalled the game and made sure I will never get tempted to reinstall it.
Nevertheless, it is pity. Although some Missing game enthusiasts came out with fairly good walkthroughs - I used 2 of them -, they could not adjust the difficulties of the mini action games in a way that the emphasis could have been shifted from the action sequences to the intellectual challenges. This lack of customization short-changed a large audience of adventure gamers who could have been up to a real treat.
Imagined so much more January 21, 2008
This is my first computer game and I'm not a video gamer but I expected more. I love the idea that you have to search the internet for clues and such but it's missing something for me. I don't like the viedo gamey things you have to do but that's just me-I ask my husband for help and he completes those tasks. The background noises are so annoying and your computer is vulnerable to all sorts of bad things out on the net so make sure you have some kind of security in place to keep out viruses and spyware. I don't think I'll try another computer game.
Too frustrating December 30, 2007
This game has a great premise and the puzzles are fun. However, the logistics of the internet and mail is terrible. When I try to do research on the internet I am booted off and the system is extremely slow. Same with mail. It is very frustrating. Half the time I just went to the walkthrough to get the answers hoping that by getting further into the game the internet search engine would improve. No such luck. Unless you are extremely patient and don't mind constantly "ending program" and starting over I would not recommend this game
No email support for this game. September 16, 2007

This was a really fun, different game to play. But don't count on getting the "supposed" emails that they say you will be getting. And those emails have a lot of information that help solve some of the puzzles. Thank goodness I found a sight that someone had all of the emails on. A lot of the websites created for the game are still up. You need to download a couple of patches. One being to be able to connect to the proper website address, and another to be able to complete a game in the last stage.
Other than that, I enjoyed the game immensely. It's creepy, and the puzzles are challenging and fun.
