The overall impression is that the author started out with a number of "clever" puzzles and threw together a game to include them. Most of the puzzles I thought lacked enough of a decent foundation of information needed to solving them. Even after using the hint system and walkthrough, I asked myself "How was anyone supposed to deduce THAT?" on several of the puzzles.

The game itself had a very loose and informal writing style in places, something I've never enjoyed in interactive fiction. So that's a personal bias, I admit. I played it only on Linux, where all dialog lacked quotation marks of any kind, greatly reducing readability. In the end, I had a lot of trouble reconciling the idea of a religious cult with the hoard of engineering riddles with no point other than to serve as bottlenecks.
