A sinister force now controls the city of Neutropolis. A once-thriving city full of beauty and light, Neutropolis has been reduced to a a stagnant pit of apathy. As Kent Knutson, a shameless dreamer and one of Neutropolis' most awkward citizens, you have been imprisoned for a week and are now under home arrest for that most sinister of crimes: whistling in public. You must get out of your home and explore the vast city of Neutropolis and solve the riddle of a nation’s apathy. Point and click with the unique voodoo doll interface and be rewarded by motion capture sequences as you gather clues and solve puzzles. Chuckle at the bizarre plot and chew carpet while your brain wraps itself around puzzles that are greater than the sum of their parts. If you manage to understand the mystery that shrouds Neutropolis, you're only halfway there...
Why is the city so controlled? Why does the most successful company in town make furniture? Why can't penguins fly? Who is Brian Deluge? How can you solve the riddle of the mystery of the clue of the puzzle that shrouds Neutropolis?
No need to look for reviews - I have the CD - I wouldn't even take this for free. Some say old games are vintage. But this game takes it to whole new levels - it was god-awful on Windows 98. Thus it's a bit like trying to get 4K out of an etch-a-sketch.

Yeah I stayed away too, I considered the energy expenditure of clicking the mouse a few times to be too great :smiley:. I think my backlog has made me more picky about what games to get.

Glad to hear. Yeah I have a backlog but I'm still up for buying more. But considering the fact this looked like a train wreck on Windows 98 - well that should give you enough idea. And I know it's not all about graphics - and if anyone wants to stick to their principles on that argument then just draw the game instead - I guarantee it will look better.

Idle for Steam cards = free money on the steam market place (albeit pennies). Do this enough and you earn yourself a game for free, irrespective of how great or terrible the game is in question.
