Has the author uploaded the fixed version anywhere yet? I just stopped playing after ‘those two frustrating rooms’, and I’m thinking I’d like to update the game before I end up moving on after that.

Not that I would particularly mind replaying the majority of the game, but ‘those two frustrating rooms’ I can definitely do without.

I don’t have anything unique to add here, but wanted to chime in to say that this is without doubt among the best games of recent years, freeware or otherwise. It’s definitely worth persevering if you’re having installation troubles (and it’s also worth persevering through some of its trickier sections; it becomes very difficult, but remains rigorously fair.)

it's a random Vista/Win7 problem with wrapped games. Read here for a possible solution.

What? What are you guys talking about? I can save? How do I save??

Yeah, I got an error message too. Wouldn’t even load.

I get a “failed to load game data, file seems corrupted” error on this and several other games I’ve found through this site… none of them have disappointed me as much as this one, going by the glowing commentary. Halp?

And 942 deaths later, I beat it.
Holy smokes man, I seriously thought that it was the last room, like, probably 10-15 times, but it just kept going. Very well done game. I’m surprised that there was so much gameplay available from such sparse mechanics. I haven’t sweat it out this much in a game for a long time.

Argh, it’s windows-only and has real timing issues running inside a VM. I got the shovel but kept getting killed as things would sloooooow dooown SPEEDUPSPEEDUP. Looks like it’s time to boot camp again.

Just finished it, really great. Parts of the final level were quite infuriating, but overall I really enjoyed it. The atmosphere of the early forest and cave levels is superb.

There’s a certain similarity here to Another World, although the games are very different. I think maybe I get similar vibes from the animations? Or perhaps it’s the sound design… they both have a similar sort of quietness to them.
