tried playing it on the PS1, its an exteme brain grinding game, you can't play it without a thick notebook to write down all the stuff you have to remember or figure it out.
I know of someone who likes this game. It is definitely not for beginner gamers. They said they liked the Zip feature to get to other areas faster. To me, it reminds me a bit of a Hidden Objects game as well as the typical Whodunit. People may like the fact they have to solve some riddles in order to advance ahead.
