Personal review

Back in the days when I had the chance to try this I found the puzzles to be extremely difficult, but my English skills weren't up for much anything back then either, so it might be that was the only problem with it. The game had an unusually dark feel to it, but since I never got very far, I can't really tell much of it.

The story started with a plane crash though, where the player was stranded in some foggy valley with no way to contact the outside world and there was a small rural-ish village.

The gameplay was a mix between action and adventure (not action-adventure mind), with the interface being like that of an RPG game. It had mostly a slowish pace akin to some older RPGs and adventure games, with few but hard battles.

difficulty - adjusts only combat difficulty which isn't the main point in this game, so you don't need to bother with it as much as with the real problems (puzzles).
