Quern - Undying Thoughts

I'm a veteran of this genre and have played these adventure-puzzle games for most of my gaming career, but this one just doesn't grab me at all and is kind of hard to get into. There's no real carrot-on-a-stick that makes me want to continue moving forward past the initial few puzzles, despite being somewhat engaging in the early-going. The first couple of puzzles are nicely done and give you something to look forward to, but once you exhaust them it's as if the game just slams on the brakes and hits a brick wall. I spent the better part of 3 hours shuffling bricks around some sort of door-opening contraption (?) to no avail and just gave up. I wandered about the very little area available looking for clues and find none. I feel like the only way forward is to use a walkthrough or just spend another 3 hours blindly guessing and that's just not good design. I would recommend this if you're just looking for a time-filler and it's on sale, but if you're looking for an engaging adventure, steer clear of this one.

It was way longer gameplay than I thought when I started. Enjoyed it! Really well made! Puzzles was perfectly balanced in difficulty.

awsome graphics but gets a little confusing after getting deeper into the game.

From the very beginning, there was so much about this experience that was challenging, yet ultimately satisfying and rewarding, if one kept pressing forward toward the next hurdle to be cleared, with the growing sense that some significant achievement would be gained in terms of the exercise, and the individual. With that said, the wind-up proved to be "somewhat" of an anti-climax. The final decision in the choice of an action seemed rather self-evident, in logical, as well as philosophical, terms. It came down to a matter of common sense, which isn't really a difficult decision to make for most "akamai" gamers. Positive, optimistic building vs negative, destructive results and outcome. One would rather err on the side of hope.

good game
