Yeah. I almost gave up on this game at the very initial start screen, 'cause I kept trying to find my mouse so I could select something on the initial screen to start the game or select settings. Duh, embarrassed to admit it took me (quite!) awhile to figure out I had to use my arrow keys to move among the options on the screen. And a really stupid question - if the locked door in the cabin just led to the outside, ummmm, why did the boy have to go to the trouble of distracting the ogre, getting into the cabin & unlocking the door? Wouldnt it have been FAR easier for him to just walk around to the other side of the cabin, on the outside, and proceed from there?? Clearly he could tell cabin dimensions from the outside & figure that all out?! |

Being gone all weekend I had abandoned this game but am gonna pick up the action where I left off (pretty much at the beginning  ) . Just have trouble getting the hang of using keys instead of mouse. Never say die (oops - that seems to be exactly the problem). |

Well, I enjoyed the fact that when I died, the game at least put me right back to just before I died, ready to try again. But what I hate...and is causing me to abandon this...is that when I tire of the game for a bit & quit it, it makes me restart from the very beginning if I have not completed an episode. Why do developers think I should reward their laziness in not providing a save mechanism by going through the tedium of redoing stuff I've already solved?? Nope, I'm to old to waste my time repeating stuff just 'cause a developer couldnt be bothered saving my place!

smitty189, lurkercat, I haven't had time to play this yet but does it allow you to use the WSAD? If it does, it is a lot easier after a bit of practice How to use the WASD keys
With the WASD keys, W is up, A is left, S is down, and D is right. The pinky finger is used for keys to the left (e.g., Tab and Ctrl), ring finger on A, middle finger on either W or S, and index finger on D.
I have a meme for that too!
