For the record, House of Tales was the same company that made Mystery of the Druids back in 2001, plus two other point-and-click adventures that I have yet to play.

Druids, while an awful game, was at least hilarious for both its nonsensical puzzles and poor writing and animation. It was the perfect kind of trainwreck. 15 Days, on the other hand, just left me feeling angry afterwards. I'm not going to go spoiling the plot here to explain, but let's just say this game's horrible reputation is not at all unjustified.

I wouldn't recommend experiencing this for yourself, even if you do have the same bile fascination, since it's a very unstable piece of software and WILL crash consistently in certain parts unless you run technical wizardry on it. Just save your $10 and wait until the Wrongpurae comes out if you're really curious.

If what you're after in a video game is a steaming pile of a broken down Pac-Man wannabe with god-awful camera and controls, ghosts that barely move, a glitched goal that often makes levels unwinnable, and a concept that might get you put on a watch list somewhere just for playing it, then I guess this is for you.

As for me, I'm just gonna hock my trading cards and spend the rest of my life running as far away from this disaster as possible.

I've played The Mystery of the Druids through to completion on an older computer before it was released here on Steam, so I know more about it than anyone would ever want to.

Without giving away too much about the plot, all I can say about this game is that the cutscenes are utterly ridiculous, the puzzles are obtuse and violate pretty much every ounce of common sense the average person possesses, and the main character, Brent Halligan, might just be the worst video game protagonist of all time (yes, even worse than Darkseed II's Mike Dawson). Being that this is a point-and-click adventure game, a genre well-known for having ridiculous puzzles and, at times, even more ridiculous characters... I do, in a twisted sense, sort of recommend playing it for yourself.

Alas, the game was originally designed for computers running Windows 98/XP, and Nordic's attempts to get it working properly on modern systems haven't quite been perfected yet, so you will most likely experience crashes every five minutes or so. Until the day this becomes more functional, I'd say just hunt down a copy of the original retail game and fire up your old XP computer instead.
