For the Visually Impaired pressing the f12 key does turn on text to speech as well as taking a screen shot, the joys of the Steam overlay. This adventure game is deep with it running in real time, it also has a lot of keys to remember so be prepared. Iti is a nice change to have a game that is not dumbed down though so I will not be complaining. There is a lot to do and learn and it will not hold your hand.The sound is reasonable and it is a decent price. It you want something that will get you thinking then this is a great buy.

This game is very engaging. I like long games and this one kept me interested. Exploration and quests are some of the things I like in games. Exploration pays off, providing quests and information about lore and the world. Some puzzles made me stuck, but the hint system was usually a good remedy for that. The protagonist is a young girl whose particular talent in magic is not politically correct and approved by the empire. Because of that, she must escape when the secret is revealed at the beginning of the game. The game kept me in suspense until the end.

I really rather not have to start all over again because of this mistake. Help! I’ve spent a lot of time on this game, and it is very challenging. I like how the game has hints for those who want to use them but, I’ve followed some of those hints and it still doesn’t complete the quest. The current quest I am on right now is,Skodiwas experiment. I am working on the mercury part and I read the walk-thro...
