Reviewers' opinions:

"The scenery is amazing... this game has the looks...!

... the music and sound effects will mesmerize the player into the game. They do an excellent job of creating a mood that is almost startlingly realistic.

One of the biggest achievements is the intriguing story line."

"... The Castle does have elements of Myst in it; indeed, at times it seems to parody it.

The Castle is quite fun to look at, and equally enjoyable to hear... The ambient noises are extremely well done.

... I don't recall any pictures of Noemi where she was wearing much more than a nightie. "

Gamers' testimonials:

"The Castle is the most fascinating game I have ever played--After completing the game, I cannot stay away from it. The puzzles are so challenging and the graphics, sounds, and everything about the game is so entertaining that I play for hours without stopping. Thank you so much!! We need other games like this one."

"I have just bought the game. It's the best investment in computer games I have spent in the last 2 years. Well done."

Nick Blackman, Australia

"I like everything about the game--the graphics, the music, and the pictures are all fantastic and I'm loving every minute of it. I like how the game draws you into the story and you hate to have to leave it.

Please tell everyone at Blue Line Studios what an outstanding job you did on this game. It is spectacular. The only other game to come close to it would be Myst.

Us Mac owners really appreciate the fact that there is now a fantastic game that PC owners can't play. I personally hope your company is working on your next game."

Rita, Cleveland, Ohio, USA

"This is the most enjoyable game I have ever had and the graphics and sounds are absolutely breathtaking. Thank you so very much--the time and effort you put into this game certainly resulted in a superior product.

I have played The Castle numerous times and I am still finding it fascinating each time I play it. The graphics and sounds are still breathtaking. Please get us Mac users another game like this one."

"I bought The Castle & LOVE it! The graphics are gorgeous, the music is tantalizingly mysterious, and the puzzles are challenging, but not impossible. I love this kind of game, i.e. where one doesn't have to have nerves of steel to play. I'd much rather use my brain. There isn't much on the market for enjoyable, thinking games, so I'd be overjoyed if Blue Line Studios could put this kind of format in future projects. I am truly impressed with the quality work. Thanks very much for the hours of intriguing enjoyment."

Mary Ellen Sellhorn, USA

"Just wanted to say that my copy of The Castle arrived and I am thrilled with it! The puzzles are hard, but not impossible to figure out and so far the game has been a total joy to play. Many compliments to the creators of this terrific game. Now if I could just figure out what pattern to put those darned wine bottles in that are in the box in the cellar.... :-)"

Verla Kay, California, USA

"The Castle arrived Saturday. Oh man, what a great game! Up most of the night on Saturday, playing it... got stuck on the island, still trying to figure out how to deal with that second puzzle after the magic squares... Thanks for a fantastic ride... looking forward to more like this from your company."

Dolores, NH, USA

"I truly enjoyed The Castle. Nothing makes me happier than a point and click game with great graphics, nice music, interesting puzzles and a solid storyline to boot. I'm looking forward to a sequel."

~Dee, Battle Creek, MI, USA

"Just wanted to drop you folks a note to let you know that I received and completed playing 'The Castle' and it was GREAT! The graphics were splendid, out of this world, and the story was a blast. I hope you plan to create a 'Castle 2' or something similar. I am an absolute adventure guru and would like to be contacted to purchase any additional games that you have or will make in the future. I like your style!"
