I am really finding this game to be a bore! I'm into Day Three and just cannot get interested in what is happening. I am sick to death of the conversations and the people I meet. Does anything ever HAPPEN? Or, do I just go on and on and on and on and on talking to people?

Well, I'm still at it. Just getting ready to start Day 6. I'll keep going. I do like a game with more puzzles and such. But, there is something to be said for variety. Maybe more puzzles will start showing up later in the game. It's time for all the kids to commence with the scaring. I'll go man the candy bowl and try not to eat it all. Thanks, all, for your thoughts!

Syndalee, I am really finding this game to be a bore! I'm into Day Three and just cannot get interested in what is happening. I am sick to death of the conversations and the people I meet. You are on the spot with that comment. I also found this game to be REALLY "flat".  Yes one meets a lot of people and talk, talk, talk but it never gets "under the skin". Never gets interesting enough to make me wanna know whats going on. Anyway, good luck in your quest

If one ONLY play this game for the crime solving, then I understand the frustrations. BUT this game tried to do a lot more and I take my hat off for the developers, who tried to show us a world, that might be some day. Sure there's a lot of dialog, but once I found out, that learning about this world and the people in it was a major part of the game, then it actually got quite interesting. Not every adventure game needs to be packed with puzzles and mysteries - at least not in my book  The company had never done an adventure game before, and I thought they did a pretty good job for their first attempt. AND they had a superb support - went on forum boards and answered all questions and made a patch within the first week to help with a bug.

I thought Culpa was a superb game, the story gripped me right from the beginning. I enjoyed all the dialogues, and loved the eerie music whenever Phoenix asked the "right" question.  I found myself completely immersed in Phoenix's world, and was sad to leave it.

I,too, found it difficult and rather boring during the first few days, however, it is well worth sticking with it because I also found myself totally immersed in Phoenix's world. If this is the future of our world it is frightning.
Has any one seen any little gray cells around as I think I've lost some? Reward for finder.

I really enjoyed the Culpa world and was sorry to see it end. Am very much looking forward to seeing what they do with the story line in the next one.

That's what impressed me about it -- that they managed to portray a world and its culture, similar to our own in some ways but very different in others.

I did not enjoy this game at all, and don't care about the sequel. Nothing happens, then the day is over and she has to gossip with that dumb friend. I and hated that I could not ask every question I wanted. If a dialog option appears I should be able to use, not be restricted.

I didn't start off enjoying this game, it took me 3 tries before I really got going. I enjoyed it a lot, but I wish that you weren't restricted to talking to characters only once a day. Some days I had to run around finding things to do so I could end the day and go back to the person I wanted to speak to. But I certainly would buy any sequel.
The answer is....chocolate! Who cares what the question is.....

I loved this game also. I couldn't stop playing it. I guess everyone has different preferences but it's on my favorite games list. Can't wait for a sequel.

I also had trouble getting into the game,but once I did I was hooked. I found myself immersed in the story line and now I am looking forward to the sequel.
