that was AMAZING! ok so i quit a few years ago because i couldn't find the first key... lol.. yeah i resorted to a walkthrough. the rest of the game was so much fun to discover! so many funny characters and enemies and dialogue, wonderful atmosphere, neat combat. other than that one spike room, the difficulty was bang on. i waited until a snow day to play this (snow is rare where i live) and it was a great decision. i'm in love with this world.
