Just picked up The Longest Journey Dreamfall.
Sort of like the old fashioned adventure games with the puzzles, dialogue and developed story lines. But they have also put combat and stealth in the game as well. Combat is pretty simplistic which is great for me considering that I have the maunual dexterity of a arthritic walrus.
Anyways ... the world seems interesting with rituals, dark forces materializing out of the sky, specteral children sending messages from beyond, a depressed purple robotic monky and all seeing Big Brother type corporations in the mix.
I just ran into my first major puzzle which resembles an old child's game called "aggrevation" and I can say with conviction that it still has the power to aggrevate me today.
Yet I shall overcome ....
(more to come later after I have lost more hair and bittnen my nails further down)
Edit: Hail the Walrus ! :notworthy: for he is victorious over the evil puzzle. And then also in personal combat. woohoo
