SPAG
The main impression I had of the game was that it was a very solid piece of work. There were no bugs, all the pieces of the plot fitted together smoothly, the hook at the start was intriguing, and the ending was good, though not as much of a surprise as it should perhaps have been.

There were various aspects that disappointed. Apart from the one-object restriction, which was excellent despite needing a completely gratuitous demon to enforce it, the puzzles seemed a bit pedestrian. There are four objects hidden in obvious places and *two* puzzles involving collecting a set of related objects.

The good thing about this game is, if you have collected the wrong objects, it is just a matter of going back for the correct ones. There is no sealing up of any part of the game except for the final scene, and even then, you have the option of using the UNDO command.
