I’m not sure I have seen anything quite like this before. The interface for this is easy to use and logical, and I thought it was a nice idea. You then tweak the order at bit and try again. Get it wrong and one of the cut scenes immediately dissolves. Typically you have to find a body of someone recently murdered, obtain or move a pair of items, touch the body to enter a blue tinted mode, visit half a dozen hotspots to show frozen cutscenes of ghostly figures, then use previous/next keys on each of these hotspots to guess at the proper chronological order of the cutscenes. There’s a general multi-step puzzle that occurs repeatedly in various areas of the adventure world. This have worked well in other games with puzzles, so why not here? Solve the local puzzle and the iron gate is suddenly opened up for you. For example, there’s a stone bridge across a dam that could have had an iron gate or something. This could have been improved with some clever gating. It’s possible to completely bypass a puzzle section and later have to backtrack a long way to solve it, as it turns out that it was actually mandatory to complete the game. Except perhaps the open and unrestricted nature of the gameplay. However, you can’t die or be caught up in a way that can’t be escaped, so if your system is stable and you can play relatively uninterrupted, there’s nothing to be afraid of. I sure understand the gamers that are miffed about this. Often I had to go through a lot of exploration and solve a multi-step puzzle before I saw it saving my progress. The game starts with no difficulty selector and no direct save option other than its own autosaves. I’ve been spoiled by modern technology, as was probably inevitable. Still, I quickly acknowledged that this kind of modern adventure game was much more up my sleeve than the previous point-and-click adventure game with its 2D retro graphics and pixelated characters. I also had a little bit of mouse lag when turning the view. Lots of details, high resolution textures, wind in the leafs, although some stuff in the distance far away seemed to be affected by an LOD algorithm in a somewhat aggressive manner.
