It's a pretty weird game, more weird than pretty, if you ask me. It's very neatly done, but I don't find it addictive at all. It's a sort of maze game, or, as Sinclair User described it, a "pick up and doge game", in fact, hovering all around, you have to take some effigies to devotional chambers to please some gods, which will reward you with powers that will allow you to dig through yellow slabs and cyan bricks looking for three crystals, which will enable you to go home, eat your supper and go to sleep. The problem is that the mazes are full of hard-to-avoid robot-looking demons which can steal the effigy you're carrying, forcing you to go back, pick it up again, and go through the same corridors again. Not an electryfing gameplay, from my point of view.
3/5
