| Review: | A mixed bag--atmospheric in spots, but the mood breaks too often. It's a zombie/mad-scientist caper with a split protagonist, initially at least--you start out as Valerie, and shift to her boyfriend once Valerie meets her demise--but Valerie never reappears. There are a few well done creepy bits, but not enough to preserve the mood, and there are also simply way too many bugs. On the other hand, some of the puzzles are nicely put together, and even if the idea itself isn't especially fresh, the author has some fun with it now and again. It's far from a polished effort, but you might like it if you're a fan of this sort of thing.
Rating: ***
