Disconnected Illusions
Overall, LSA is not too bad. Its shortcomings are only particularly noticeable when you see how much better it could have been. [...] As it is, hurried along by the limited plot, I never connected with the characters or environment.

In truth, despite the incongruency of the puzzles, I hasten to say that I enjoyed "Shelby's Addendum" a great deal. This game is well written. The plot is great, there's a bit of horror (but nothing overboard), the characters are well developed (including the player's character, which is unusual in IF but handled beautifully here), and the room descriptions and scenery descriptions are vivid and consistently of the highest quality. (Molley the Mage)

I've been rather harsh in this review; there are good aspects to "The Light: Shelby's Addendum," and it would not have been out of place had it appeared as a mid-period Infocom game. But I didn't enjoy playing it very much because the moments of excitement were few and far between. (Gareth Rees)
