Adventure Game Scene of the Day - January 11, 2007

I had a lot of fun playing this game. It was so bright and cheerful looking with fun puzzles, neat characters and a fun story (I need a thesaurus). I loved the closing credits! :) I'm also looking forward to the next one very much.

Even though I don't always agree, I know many people like not having the game title so I'll leave it off. :)

Does everybody know what the title of this game means? I have been seeing those things forever, and until the game appeared I didn't know their name. I plan to play it soon, it's available in my local library (techincally, mediatheque).

An ankh is the Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol for life. Often found in tombs and on paintings of Egyptian gods.

...and in various gift-shops of all kinds all around the world. I must admit that I wear it myself from time to time. Great game!

Wasn't it sort of popular among the Gothic crowd? (by this I mean, you know, the Cure and such). I recall that in Sandman's comic books Death wears one of those, and she dresses sort of Gothic. Then again, if it's the symbol of life it's ironic she wears it... or she could be related to Isis and whannot, I am not an expert in Gaiman's ouvre.

And it's twinned with Morpork...
