I just finished the game. The artwork was the highlight of the game. Very well done. I enjoyed most of the puzzles, but the wolf puzzle in the forest was extremely frustrating and almost ruined the game for me.

There is one glitch I discovered that has not yet been mentioned:

Spoiler

While the wolf is attacking the man on the ground, if I try to use the pruning shears on the candle Lizaigne says, "I have better things to do - the healer is drowning!" The healer is still in the house, however. This piece of dialogue comes too early and spoils a major plot point.

On the ending:

Spoiler

My main complaint is in regards to the ending. The game ends abruptly, and the conflict between Lilith and Lizaigne is never resolved. I wanted to see a big confrontation between them at the end. The entire game builds up to a big confrontation, but it never happens, and I'm left wondering why the story was told in the first place. There is an intriguing build-up but no payoff.

Hi Elen,

Thanks for the tip, but I'm still having trouble with this part.

Spoiler

I tried going from the first hourglass to the second hourglass four times without reloading, but I was still unable to click the second hourglass. Do I need to find the stone at the center of the maze first? I do not believe I have found the stone yet.

Hello. I'm having some trouble with the hedge maze. First-person adventure games really aren't my thing at all, and I'm not too fond of mazes, but I've loved everything else in the game so far, and I'd really like to finish it.

Spoiler

I found both hourglasses, and I know that I need to turn the hourglass at the start of the maze and then run to the second hourglass. The problem is that I can never make it to the second hourglass in time. It always takes me at least 45 seconds to get to the second hourglass when I should be getting there in less than 30 seconds. What is the best way to get to the second hourglass? Here is the path I've been taking: after going around the tree and past Jack's note, I go left, straight, right, straight, left, straight, left, straight, left, straight, right, straight, left, straight, left, straight.

Thanks, Old Guy! I finished the game and found it very enjoyable overall.

Hello. I believe I am near the end of the game, but I am stuck.

Spoiler

I have placed the attractors at the church and Castle Rock but I cannot for the life of me seem to find where the third attractor should be placed. I have looked everywhere and have tried to use it with everything but I have been unsuccessful so far. Where should I place the third attractor?

Thanks!
