If you've played: At the very end I had no idea that you had to use Anita's ID Card on the console in the tissue sample room. The other issue I encountered probably had more to do with the writing- there was a thing I had to do that was really not intuitive. My strategy of randomly moving the mouse around didn't help me find it in that case. One of the issues I was having was literally not being able to see a thing on the screen that I had to interact with. No need to call (!) friends, or wait to talk to them in school, or find a BBS server (when the internet finally became an accessible thing), or just give up. There were two moments, both unfortunately in the end game, that I needed help with, and this presents the most radical change in 25 years of gaming.

The graphics.well after a little tweaking to a. Thematically dark but the dialogue is funny in a Douglass Adams sort of way so, lots of puns and innuendo.
