I found the puzzles a little too obtuse

After playing 'burnt dreams' I decided to try this one out. I thought the puzzles here were a little too hard. Some involved little more than a guessing game, and some required a knowledge of astrology (which I don't have). If you are good with Zodiac symbols, you might like this more than I did. I don't care for 'puzzles' that involve pressing buttons at random until you hit the right ones by accident. Plus, it's a little too sensitive about exactly where you click, so even if I knew I was using the right object, sometimes it did not work. But the story was good and the graphics were pretty.
I recommend this game!

As always with the Dark Parables games, this is wonderful. It's fun and not frustrating and just a real time-killer! I loved it.
I do have one word of warning...I normally buy this sort of game because my hands are impaired (arthritis) and so I must avoid any 'twitchy' puzzles that require fast reflexes. This game is great except for the final room. In that last room, the 'puzzle' is not at all confusing, it is a simple speed test of hand-eye coordination. It's not a hard test at all, but if you have problem hands, as I do, you may find yourself in the last room and unable to finish. Too bad. It was the only puzzle in the entire game that gave me problems.
I recommend this game!
