Oh hey it was actually the game I was thinking of. I read the book some years ago.

It's written by Terry Jones of Monty Python fame and based on a short anecdote from one of Douglass adaams hitchhikers guide to the galaxy books. The quality wasn't nearly on par with the hitchhikers trilogy, but if you're a fan it's worth the read.

i've not read the book (i think, or at least it was so long ago that i don't remember it), but i recall some parts of the game being so monty python non-sequitor as to be really hard (ie strange random commands to the bots). maybe it's make more sense after reading the boook...

That's awesome news indeed, I'm always glad to see more adventure classics on Steam.

Wow... I have the box of that one around somewhere.
I could not get through the lexical puzzles that this game required. I remember reading a walkthrough once I got very frustrated with it and was like "wtf?!" at how the puzzle was supposed to be solved. Then again, I also got to mention the sucking and blowing machine to a female friend of mind, since it was part of a puzzle while I was talking to her on the phone.
(If you come at the game as a half text adventure with an emphasis on attempts at conversational AI, the puzzle-solving bits will probably make slightly more sense.)
