I finished ALIDA last week, after some pleasurable hours wandering on your island. The OS X version ran flawlessly, and I was really blown away by the amazing world of sight and sound revealed in those five disks. No one can say that all the good new games of this genre are only for Windows once they've seen ALIDA. You really came through with an impressive work, full of the details that matter: great puzzles, architectural innovation, flawless textures, fun reward movies, awesome ambient sound. (I can't think of another game with cute Australian guys, but that's a plus too.) Thank you for a great game, and we'll hold Arin to his promise of a possible sequel.

We've just finished playing your wonderful game Alida for OS X. Thank you so much for such a terrific adventure! It was beautiful and gorgeous to look at and listen to, we were totally immersed and the puzzles were pretty tough and devious to solve (it had our minds reeling there for a while!) The story made a lot of sense. The animations too were top notch! Such quality games don't make it to the Mac all that often! We had been waiting for something this awesome since Riven. By the ending there is a hint to a possible sequel... Is this the case? If so count us in to buy it for sure! Many thanks.

Alida was both very stable, without any problems, and very enjoyable. I'm using past-tense because I completed it Friday night. :-) Thanks for writing a good game; the puzzles were of reasonable difficulty, and the music and graphics were excellent.

What a wonderful game you created! I was so lucky to have been snowed in for a week so I could visit Alida anytime I wanted. As of today, ALIDA goes in the #2 spot on the list of my top 10 favorite games, above JOURNEYMAN PROJECT 3, RIVEN, MYST, and EXILE. The only other game that is ahead of yours is Doug Adams' STARSHIP TITANIC, which will always be my #1 because it was the very first computer game I ever played. (If you think I got lost in Alida, you should have seen me trying to get around that starship!) Best wishes from a grateful gamer,

Alida was fantastic. I just finished Alida and wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the game. As a long-time adventure gamer, I was thrilled that it was available for OSX and that it worked so flawlessly. The ambient sounds were the best I've heard in any game, especially those involving wind. The game is as good as the best out there ... I am 51 and really appreciate games that are beautiful to look at, have great music and ambient sounds, are not races against the clock, and do not involve killing or shooting. Thanks again for a great game,
