Among the Innocent: A Stricken Tale

Despite some awkwardness, this is a terrific puzzle adventure.

It's absolutely lovely to explore the setting, a well-crafted piece of rural South Africa. You can move about at your own pace and find notes that will help you realize the story and solve the puzzles

The puzzles are very challenging indeed. Most can be solved with some patience and thought. However, a few are quite obscure, while others are marred by unclear gameplay mechanics.

Luckily, you can work around the frustration with a nice hint web page maintained by the developer. Unfortunately, one important hint is wrong and misleading. (I will tell the developer and perhaps it will be fixed by the time you play.)

Note that walkthroughs you might find on the internet will appear a bit different from those you experience in the game. Apparently the developer changed some puzzles via an update to make them a bit more approachable.

All in all, it is an immersive and beautiful game!
