A good adventure game that hasn't aged too badly. Runs well without screwing around, parser generally cooperates with what you want to do. Puzzles feel about right, difficulty-wise, maybe a little too easy in some cases. The game is often funny without being a comedy. As far as the time travel thing goes, there's a lot of places that seem static or underdeveloped, but it (unintentionally?) creates a sort of commentary on how things change and don't change throughout history. It's insane that the same tavern and shed has existed since Stonehenge, but strangely deep that the same guy has been polishing the same mug in it the whole time. Anyway, good game.
