All right, I’ve finished the game! This turned out to be one of those games where I played the whole thing through over the weekend. I clocked 11.5 hours in GOG.
Do you also have the impression this is considered one of the better games of the “Silliwood” era?
It’s a unique game in many senses, and I thought it was largely very well made, even if it didn’t quite manage to be greater than the sum of its parts. I think it hit me at the right time, I got a lot of enjoyment out of it from the beginning to the end.
I could’ve stomached just a _little_ bit of less pixel hunting and/or a tiny bit more signaling towards the solution here and there – and I could’ve done without the sliding tile puzzle – but having played _not that many_ adventure games, it was at a very pleasant difficulty level for me. I’m thankful red.hexapus brought up Universal Hint System, it fit in very well for me playing this game.
