"3D Glasses Included In Box!" according to the information on the Viva Media site. Also, "Experience now in 3D. Glasses included" is stated on the box. I usually download games, but I will buy the boxed copy of this one, since 3D glasses are included  I'm looking forward to this game  Does anyone know when Interact will get it?

Ana...Does this game have an inventory? Do you have a large inventory? Do you put things together?
What kind of interface does it have?
Thank You

Likewise I pre-ordered from AS, only to find out that it will only be available on June 16 as to the original date of June 3, what is going on with them, + when I tried to change my password which I do on a regular basis for Security reasons, I get a Box "Saying Error" and I know it is not me, I checked and double checked all my input and I also on the same night, changed my passwords for GamersGate and Direct2Drive without a hitch.

It is 2 Am there right now and the weekend. I will try to clarify tomorrow. I just ordered it now to check. It seems that Metaboli the one that releases the game held it for 6-16-2011. Play on the day of release!

Darlene03 I checked out the game on youtube and it looks like a regular point and click game with a regular inventory. Hope that helps. Cathy

My game arrived today. Everything installed okay and game started.
Two part observation:
1. After playing awhile, I chose save menu, then main menu, and quit game. The game froze on me with a "Breakpoint Exception" and I had to crtl/alt/del to end the game process. Twice. The details I won't go into, as that should be for a glitches thread, not here. I'm disappointed, but will reserve final impression until some other views get posted here.
Now about game play:
2. I was hoping I would like the 3D more. The package does come with glasses included, but the effect didn't make me go "WOW!!". More of a - so that's it? But the 3D mode can be clicked ON and OFF at the bottom right of the screen and then played in regular 2D.
The female character's movements are PAINFULLY slow as she walks. You cannot double click to make her move faster. "Kate Walker" was a marathon runner compared to this lady. The graphics are about average for recent games I have played. Colors aren't extreme, but not muted either, and bright enough to see everything. Subtitles show at the top of the screen, inventory at the bottom of the screen.
There is a Built-in Hint System, bottom left screen, which is nice. I used it a couple of times already. The inventory can be clicked once to reveal and clicked again to hide. I already picked up quite a few items. The game play is 3D, but the cut scenses are in 2D and the glasses can be lifted for those. Character movement is still painfully slow whether in 2D or 3D. My eyes quickly became tired viewing 3D, which is why I wanted to take a break, and then the game froze, and would not exit properly. I may have to set this game aside till some more comments come in about it.
