As has been said by many, this is a great, classic game that's let down a bit by its old RAGS engine. I did a lot of fiddling and think I was able to get into it in RAGS and exported it as an HTML file. It's a bit wonky, but I figured I'd share the results just the same:

Anyone was able to make it work on 3.0? Or have the HTML version of it? Can't work it on WIN11

This Game sooo needs to be updated to HTML.   one of the best ever Rags Games :)

One of the all time great games, sadly held back by it's engine. Literally, in this case, as it took some investigating to even get it to run. However, if you're also looking to revisit this game (Which I can't recommend highly enough), just follow these steps:

Install RAGS Player Classic 2.4.16, available here: https://mega.nz/file/CngnzYBD#jMviqj7yLx4ecbVTzN5PQui_tCac0wrv0EfA9BXtmEU

Download the missing SQL server compacts, available here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-nz/download/confirmation.aspx?id=5783

Running the downloaded file will unpack two installers and a readme into a target location. God only knows why it doesn't put them in a folder.

If you're still on a 32 bit system (Why?), install only the x86 version. If you're on a 64 bit OS, install both. You'll get a warning message if you install them in the wrong order, so make sure you do x86 first, then x64.

The game will now run. Enjoy.

EDIT: As of 14/10/2022, the official RAGS website has gone down, therefore the original link is no longer available. I have been unable to find a mirror either. So, unless one is found, it is impossible for people who don't already have this version of RAGS Player installed to play this game. People who do have this version will still be able to fix the reported issue with the rest of my workaround, so I'll leave it here.

This is a real shame, as I maintain that this game is still one of the best on the site. If anyone finds a mirror (Or has the old installer and is willing to host it somewhere), let me know, and I'll gladly update this message.

EDIT 2 Electric Boogaloo: Thanks to user aaaac hooking me up with a working installer, the link is back and active. I am hosting it, hopefully temporarily, on my own MEGA server, until a better long term hosting solution is worked out. Dunno how stable this is going to be, do let me know if the link goes down.

What can l say that hasn't already been said? The story is fun and complex (i've tried plotting it out in have had some success), the art (3d, doll like models) is Good, and overall, other then the ocasional typo or broken interaction/dead end, l really like it! It's a real shame it's dead, as it's one of the few Really Good Rags games on this site (That i've played)

In short, if you don't mind the RAGS engine, and have a few hours to spare, l recomend giving this a play.
