The Real Review

Desktop Explorer is a hit, with players hooked on its clever puzzles and eerie story as they dig through an old PC's abandoned profiles. The point-and-click gameplay and retro graphics nail the vibe perfectly, and the soundtrack is a standout. A few people found the puzzles a bit obtuse, and some on PC and Mac hit performance hiccups, but that's a small complaint against a game most people loved.
