The game is inexpensive and, while not a shining example of the genre, does have its moments. It will keep the Adventure Gamer nicely occupied while waiting for a better game to come out. And that pretty much is the definition of a C+.

My recommendation? Be sure to purchase and play Lifestream, if you haven't already. It is wonderful. And then purchase Shady Brook out respect to the creator and to keep him motivated to do something better.
