Rejoice with me, for a game that I've long wanted to complete making has finally been completed!

A game made for, and about, Sarimento (a friend on Gaia Online).  So it's meant to be a gift game, but others can play it too!

Here's the 411:

The titular hero, Sarimento, crash-lands on the wintry Hyperborean Island.  But under the calm exterior, the people are in fear.

Help the hero restore the people's faith in humanity by doing some small (and sometimes large) favors, and eventually finding the cause of their troubles.

This is a verb-coin game.  Left click has the hero walk or, if the cursor is on a spot (character, hotspot, etc.) bring up the verb-coin interface (or, if he's got an item, use the item in some way).  Right click brings up the Inventory GUI, or if he has an item active already, get the cursor back to the regular cursor.  Click the computer button on the top right of the screen to bring up the system menu to change volume and character speed, save, load, etc.

Full-screen mode is recommended for this game.

Congrats on the release! It's always a great feeling when something long in development finally gets finished.  (nod)

Indeed.  This game would've been finished years ago (and perhaps be in better quality) if I had help.  But aside from a few pointers, I had to do it alone.

Still, I got it done.  And I've kinda learned a lesson--next time I do a verb-coin adventure game, I won't make the verb-coin so convoluted.

Had fun with this until now, but after I got the reply letter for Lara I went to the other town nearby.
I am now at the telescope and cannot leave.  :confused:
Is it a dead end?  (wtf)

Oh?  Lemme check.

Yeah, I put it on "Leave Left Edge" instead of "Leave Right Edge".  I'm fixing this now.

[Edit] Okay, I fixed it.  The rest of the game should function properly now.  For those who downloaded already, go ahead and delete the old version and download the newer version.

I guess it didn't happen to me before because

I was at the dirigible docks when offering the Nymph Statuette to Jarl at the time.

I hopefully fixed the bug there too.
