I would have rated this game higher if it didn't have a health meter and if the items collected were labeled. I went through most of the game thinking that the gum was Himalayan salt. Also, the life sucking petroglyphs in the cave was ridiculous. I must have died three or four times before locating the correct symbol. Here's what you should do every time you find a staff: 1) Don't pick it up; just save. 2) Go to the cave, locate the symbol, and mark what section it's in. The layout of the cave is section 1, room, section 2, room, and section 3. The symbol will be on the wall of one of these sections. 4) Once you locate the symbol, pick up the staff and go as quick as possible to the section containing the symbol. 5) Click on the symbol and save. 6) Solve the symbol and save. 7) Run to the temple and insert the staff. And what every you do, make sure the symbols match!
Now for the positives: I really like the story, the backstory, and the variety of puzzles. The graphics have improved from Shivers and the music is good. If only this game could be remade to fix the cave issue. Sigh!
