I am well into this game (not yet finished) but have some thoughts that might be of value for someone considering this game. This game has some differinces from the usual RPG (mostly good) that make it very interesting. THERE ARE NO RANDOM ENCOUNTERS (YAAAA!) so fights can be avoided if you wish. Enemies do respawn when you return to an area. When a tough enemy appears the game lets you save BEFORE the fight if you wish (a nice feature). The game is a little more complex to play than usual but the tutorial is very good and comments made during the game are a good guide as to what to do next i.e. "you need XXX to do this". Items you need to get or deal with glitter. It is a little slower paced that usual but that is not always bad. You can play as one of three character types ('Warrior, Paladin, Conjurer) which adds to replay value.
BigFish Games just put it on their site for $6.99 which INCLUDES the walkthrough (the same one that costs $6.99 by itself on the developers site). The "blog walkthroughs" on BigFish can be copied (Ctrl-A (selects all), Ctrl-C (copies) and the pasted (Ctrl-V) into Word or some other word processor so you can access the walkthrough without having to exit the game first (a handy hint for me).
