I first got this game as a gift for christmas. Since there were several other interesting games that came out at the same time this game was left unplayed for quite a while. When I finally got around to playing it, I was left extremely frustrated. A couple of weeks later I decided to give it another try, but first I would look through the manual properly. So let my say this first, this game does require some effort on your part. You should definitely look through the manual to get some information on game concepts. Finding an online faq could also be useful. If you stick with it as I did, I am confident that you will find that effort repaid more than you could imagine. This game blew me away! I absolutely loved every second of this game. I found myself immersed in the story immediately. The atmosphere is wonderful and exploring the game world truly feels exciting and scary. I replayed this game more times than I can remember and I loved every single playthrough. If you want to try an old crpg that will challenge you, then this is indeed a game to try. It is one of my fondest memories from that time and immediately bought this now when gog released it. This game is not perfect by any means, the interface in particular was something I needed time to get used to, but it makes up for that in just about all other aspects.
