Took me about 1.75 hours of relaxed playing to get through, this short playing time is the main reason for my only 4 star rating. It's a really easy and straight-forward game to play, there's no 200-item inventory, no countdown action, no sliding puzzles (THANK YOU!), sensible auto-highlighting of objects, and I think I saw a button to click for hints somewhere, but I never needed it. The walking speed isn't annoying, the characters don't nag, and there are ZERO puzzles that make you cross the entire world, pick an item up there, cross the entire world back again to apply it to something else, and then let you walk all the way back again to see what it did. THANK YOU for that also. It's a bit shallow at times, especially regarding the story or background plot. While I do appreciate not having to read novels, I feel like a bit more dialogue and information here and there would've been beneficial.
