This is such a great game, lots of fun. No real pressure but the challenges and play are really enjoyable. Good storyline and characters, and played again you can achieve different tasks. Would love to see more of these games.
I recommend this game!

This game will entertain for many days. It's probably the best value game I own so far. I haven't finished it yet, I'm only about halfway through but I already bought TIC2! This game is like Wandering Willows, minus the cute factor, a bit more 'adult' and much more challenging. The characters look fairly realistic. You have missions to complete for various people on the island, things to collect on the way, recipes to follow etc. but you have to do all the work yourself #no cute pet to do it for you#. Also, look out for the boars and snakes as they can inflict damage. Hint - keep a ready supply of ingredients for the repelling potion in your inventory and cook food as soon as you have the necessary ingredients as this will free up your inventory for other things and also nourishes your character more efficiently. You can hold 20 of each in the beginning #before it spills over into a second space#, 50 of each after the first upgrade and 100 of each after the final upgrade, so use your inventory space wisely in the beginning. As soon as you are able to, sell all your surplus stock to the shop for extra funds to buy upgrades faster.
It would have been fun to be able to customise your character like in Wandering Willows, but apart from that,
I can't find anything negative about this game. Show less

Pure adventure games are hard to find and not all of them are fun. This one is! I had a lot of fun completing the quests and learning the story. The only complaint was that the music need to be turned down (way loud at the start). I can't wait for more like this
I recommend this game!

I have played many "adventure"/Tribe/stranded in strange place games before.. Most of them are good... but this one is GREAT. I loved the Story Line. There was Humor (always a plus)..

The Main character was well done... I mean.. I loved he was more "tough" lookin then a pretty boy... yet... he was a good heart.. and good with kids ;)..... :) ..
There was only one thing wrong with this game.. I wanted MORE lol.. so I went to look for "2" ... and noticed that it was different.. not the same Main Character :( how disappointing .... I thought to be continued meant more of THIS game.. not a "prelude" ... oh well..
Anyways bottom line.. This is a GREAT Game.. I really recommend it. If you love story lines, and Good challenges... that aren't overly tedious to the point of boring... THIS IS YOUR GAME... I was NOT bored ONCE. And that.. is awesome. Show less
