Schizm: Mysterious Journey

"The game uses a variant on the tried-and-true interface used in many point-and-click adventures such as Zork Grand Inquisitor... The technology has an organic look to it, and is rendered in near-photorealistic detail... a big game, at least in terms of multimedia..."

"The superb graphics and sound, combined with a truly intriguing story and absolutely absorbing gameplay, make Schizm a real winner. LK Avalon clearly learned a great deal from the mixed reactions to Reah and applied, in an intelligent way, every bit of accumulated wisdom in this new release."

"...Schizm is almost a good game, and I feel a little bad about giving it such a low score. Avalon Multimedia put a lot of work into the game’s puzzles, which instantly leapfrogs them above many other adventure game developers, but the puzzles are just too hard, and combining that with the weak story and poor acting, Schizm is just a tough game to recommend."

"Schizm has a thin story, but the puzzles were obviously created by and for people who love a daunting task."

"Adventure gamers will be singing the praises of Schizm. Even some of us brain-dead action gamers will take to it as well. Be warned, though, that there's a lot more thought and a lot less twitch. Patience and thought are the only way this schism will be united."
