I don't understand the derision directed at this game. I remember I tried it one day and was favorable impressed. It's one I filed in my "get this one someday" mental file box.
So a few months later I bought it and enjoyed the whole thing. No, it's not a five-star winner, but I'll, for one, give it 4 stars. It's also one I'll probably come back to some day out of my couple of hundred HOG games.
You might want to check it out, especially for only 2.99 today.

At least give this game a fair trial. I've only played it for about 45 minutes and, yes, it is challenging. It's also beautiful and engaging--quite different actually from the usual.
It's definitely not a "hold your hand" type of game. It takes a lot of thought to find out what to do next, but this is, after all, an adventure game and it definitely lives up to it's genre.
Just a hint if you are totally perplexed and can't find the objects you pick up (possible spoiler here but not by much)...You do have more than one button on your mouse, don't you?
The music and soundtrack are amazingly well done; a pleasure to listen to.
The game's not for everyone, probably, but for 2.99 (or even at regular price if you don't get it at today's dd discount) you're in for an enchanting experience, well worth the money. You'll probably feel like you're actually walking in Aroc's moccasins (or whatever footwear they wore back in those prehistoric days.)
