This game just amazes me. It's such a classic and the CGI, though dated by today's standard, is still impressive for the time it came out. It's an amazing point-and-click with a beautiful and flowing narrative.

I am amazed that it hasn't gotten more recognition over the years and not as well known as some of those classics like Monkey Island and Sam & Max.

My only real issue is that some parts are a little difficult, but the items glow if you have to use them on a certain object or person which can be a real life-saver. I also dislike the fact I had to disable the steam UI to have it work (though that was sometime ago and it might work ok now) so there aren't any chances to take screenshots to show friends some of the awesome scenes and enlightening words of wisdom that are often spoken in this game.

If you're a fan of point-and-click and you for some reason don't have this in your collection then I don't know why you haven't bought this yet. Especially for it's price and what you get.

Sadly I've got way too many games on my list for the moment. Currently I'm streaming AI: The Somnium Files and Oriental Blue. Both very long games and I have many others coming up too.

Someone from the team already asked me to buy it...which I don't have the money right now and I may get it at a later date, but I have a huge list of other games to go through.

Also I'm now a little suspecious because you're the fourth person to come to me and ask about this game "Darkarta" to purchase it.

Np, it's a really great game! I was totally surprised at how much of a gem this really was! I've bought it for friends of mine and such in the past because it's one of those forgotten games that sits in the dust-covered corner of the storefront.
