Oh boy. You need workarounds to make it work because it's kinda broken on steam. Once you find a way, it's funny because it's bad. Got it as a gift, hence it was free.

The Mystery of the Druids is a point-and-click adventure game developed by House of Tales and published by HandyGames that attempts to blend classic detective storytelling with supernatural and historical intrigue. Set in modern-day London, the story begins with Detective Brent Halligan of Scotland Yard, a somewhat impulsive and often ill-tempered investigator who finds himself caught up in a series of gruesome murders. What seems at first like a conventional police case quickly takes on a darker dimension as Halligan uncovers links between the killings and ancient druidic rituals. The game soon expands beyond the city’s grim backstreets to include elements of archaeology, myth, and even time travel, giving it a narrative scope that is surprisingly ambitious for its early 2000s origins. Beneath its familiar murder mystery premise lies a story that tries to connect modern science with ancient sorcery, drawing the player into a web of conspiracy that stretches back centuries. Visually, The Mystery of the Druids captures the transitional moment between the hand-drawn adventures of the 1990s and the 3D-rendered titles that would soon define the genre. Its pre-rendered backgrounds are …

Women do like winners, Halligan. The game wont run unless you use files from the GOG version (which you can also play perfectly fine). The game is psychotic and funny, its worth playing for the absurdity of it either by yourself or with friends, the puzzles are decent but can also be complete nonsense.
