The AGS Panel is a team of AGS forum veterans who play all of the games here, and give them ratings from one to five cups. The rating system is as follows:
1 Cup Not serious entertainment
2 Cups A reasonable game, worth a try
3 Cups A good game, worth playing
4 Cups A great game, well worth your time
5 Cups An outstanding, must-play game!
Feel free to disagree with the panel's rating, and please don't be offended if you think your game has been underrated!

(Why has my game been rated 1 cup?)

Close window
If your game has been rated 1 cup, please don't be offended! It's common for your first game release to get a 1-cup rating, due to the game having a lack of polish and flair -- which is understandable, because you're just getting started!

Please understand that the main purpose of the ratings is to help potential game players find high quality, bug-free games to play. You've probably learnt a lot about AGS as a result of making your first game -- so why not use that knowledge to start afresh, and do even better with your next game!

AGS Panel Review

"While the author\'s grasp of comedy and surreal imagery is as reliable as ever, a lack of technical consistency proves detrimental to player enjoyment. Somewhat painful audio may be intentional."

3 people commented on this game (newest first):

Very atmospheric short mystery adventure set in a space mine turned "ectoplasm reaserch" laboratory.

Skull successfully weaves a story around intriguing ideas about what else ghosts could be, if not actually the souls of the deceased. However, like with many mysteries the resolution is somewhat cliched and disappointing. Also, the hotspots can be really hard to find and troublesome in general.

Surreal investigation with lots of dialog. Interesting setting and well chosen music.

A mystery game from thecatamites with a terrific soundtrack. This game is more mature than his previous games, but thecatamites still managed to keep the surreal atmosphere.

Play now this sequel to its prequel!
