is this game really hard? to give you a point of reference, i found the myst games to be really hard, the sierra games to be almost impossible, and the unwritten tales games to be just right, resonance to be just right, and machinarium to be hard, but doable and fun.

It's not really a point and click game. So far the only difficulty comes from dealing with the creature, and from having to piece together the scraps of journal entries you find. Oh, and navigating. It's a game of exploration and survival, not really a game of puzzles. I haven't found it too hard at all, although I haven't finished it yet, and I gather that the creature gets fairly dangerous as the game nears its end.

Although it's worth mentioning that if you have a terrible sense of direction like me, you will end up getting lost in the forest, falling off a cliff, and drowning in the ocean. ;)

And don't forget getting swiped at by the demon kitty and subsequently collapsing from fever... then falling off a cliff and drowning.

On the contrary, I find this game quite relaxing (when the creature doesn't glitch like crazy. 3 encounters in less than 5 minutes today, made me wish for a shotgun).

And the terrible FOV doesn't help at all with orientation. Still waiting for a fix, :(

Apparently there's an issue with the FOV not scaling properly with some resolutions, should roll out with the first patch.

Well most of these people mention falling to me it seems like my legs have a mind of it's own o_o though that's probably because of all the stupid slopes that make you slide around :/
