Residence 44 Quest
Puzzles are generally typical and fair, although the solutions to a few are a bit far-fetched. The game doesn't understand a lot of synonyms, but this is understandable as the designers had to translate the original Dutch version (which you can download from official site below). The graphics are excellent, although the game feels a bit claustrophobic because most of the scenes are small rooms in the building. This is the opposite extreme of the large, expansive, mostly empty gameworld of URI Quest, a similar AGI adventure. But what makes Residence 44 Quest a lot of fun to play is the entertaining story, good character interaction (everyone has a lot of things to say, useful or not), and a huge dose of charming, sophomoric wit (if that's an oxymoron, I apologize ;)) In short, an enjoyable college romp that, except for a few glaring typos, is better overall than URI Quest. Two thumbs up!
