This did make the game very clunky to play, as you had to sit there and wait through the various transitions even when solving a puzzle. The writing was also ridiculously campy with community theater acting, but that was likely intentional. Amazing soundtrack, either way. Absolute bangers.

I believe it was in the maze, when Stauf pops up and growingly offers a "red ballooooooon", that I pulled the CD out of the tray and frisbee'd it out the window into the woods in raw terror. Had to go out and find it the next morning before anyone woke up.

"Skeletons In My Closet" was such a great track.

They did a complete reimagining of it recently with impressive volumetric FMV for the characters. But a lot of the charm has gone at this point because it just feels like a standard iPad puzzle game with a thin story stapled on top, lacking any camp. You can't recapture the originality.
