I spent the first hour or so just moving up and down stairs and ramps. When I thought the game was finally getting started, I found out I needed to find matches, turn water on, then light a furnace of some kind, and I realized I was playing a worse version of Kings Quest, perhaps crossed with a worse (if possible) version of Myst. Also, the controls weren't very good, which didn't help.
I just spent hours beating bushes with a crowbar to get leaves. With that same crowbar, I couldn't even scratch a grandfather clock. I couldn't upgrade the crowbar, because I couldn't find enough ceramic items to smash. I couldn't swing the crowbar straight, because my guy kept turning around with every swing. I'm not wasting any more time on it.
