One of the best games of a genre I usually don't like very much.

Even though I am not a big fan of of point and click adventures, where you have to combine two unrelated things to get a third weird thing, I must say that this one is one of the best I ever played. Mostly because of the perfect writing and humor. Also the hint system is quite good, so i never got stuck for too long, even though I probably used it way too often insted of proper thinking.
