It's got a lot of interesting humour, but the while ostensibly a graphic adventure a lot of the game relies on text chat with "chat bot" type logic that was a questionable choice even at the time, and hasn't aged well since.
The game was published by traditional book publisher Simon & Schuster in a very brief foray into videogames. The smartest decision they made was requiring the game to have a novel adaptation (and audiobook of that novel), and the second smartest thing they did was include a copy of the novel and a portion of the audiobook as a feely in the game package for many preorders.
My recommendation is to track down the novel adaptation and audiobook and enjoy them. (Written and voiced by Monty Python alum Terry Jones.) They were superior to the game experience in a number of ways.
