Although, I did not mind having to do a little research for every puzzle, this scholarly approaching to adventuring may not appeal to all. The majestic courtyard of the Qin Emperor. Yours to behold and to explore. Qin 's outstanding graphical quality is undoubtedly one of the game's strongest aspects. Each photo-realistic screen is skillfully rendered and lifelike in its detail and beauty.
Animation is used sparingly, but tactfully.
The bits that are present help to further bring a screen to life. From the incense smoke drifting above an altar to the water flowing along bamboo pipes, the animated screens are visual treats. Another important aspect of Qin is its audio splendur which is often 'overlooked' in adventure games. Sound effects and music are as important in creating and maintaining the atmosphere of the game as the attention-hogging graphics. For example, in the courtyard at the beginning of the game, as you are bathed in the pure white light that seems to emanate from the rocks themselves, the hollow mysterious sound makes you feel as if you are in the presence of something supernatural, something beyond your pitiful mortal existence.
