Excellent game! I wish it were longer, or there'd be a second installment. Great gameplay, all with only the use of the mouse, no keyboard needed. Simple but effective, which is all I need for a point-and-click game. The storyline is great. The art is great. The music is great. Thank you!

The unique setting of ancient China is really all that make its stand out as an adventure game. The art is serviceable, but simplistic. The story isn't flat out terrible, but its bland and uncompelling. The characters are all two-dimensional. The puzzles are either easy, or tedious. The logic for one of them is flat out nonsense. Even if you know the solution it makes zero sense.
