This game was simply fun to play. The offbeat humor was great! I had a blast playing and look forward to future titles from this company... try out their other game "Case of the Crabs" for a film-noir style adventure game!
The puzzles are challenging, though the overall game isn't all that long. There's a variety of hidden jokes throughout the game as well. My only complaint is with the stability... once, the game's interface became entirely unresponsive, requiring a quit. This was a bit frustrating, as I hadn't saved the game recently. I recommend saving often.
All in all a great game, especially for the price!

I am in OS 9.2.2, and I can't start the darn thing.
Inside the folder I get after unzipping, I find a "__MACOSX" folder, a "brainhotel_mac" folder, and inside that one "SWF" file and "brainhotel", with no icon or extension.
What am I supposed to do now?
Or is it this thing for OS X only? (there's no requirements instructions, neither in the file nor on developer site)

While the app is somewhat interesting and I liked the comic book style, the characters repeated themselves a lot, and most of the tasks were too obscure to figure out without the ( very good ) hints page on the website. That, and the game was too modal. ( i.e. You have to complete many tasks in a specific order. )
It's an interesting idea, well done, and it's free, so I don't wanna be too down on it, but if you're looking at this star rating and comparing it to other things available on VersionTracker, I think that 2 stars is a more appropriate rating.
