Unfortunately, I couldn’t finish the game: I’m missing one gift and that’s too bad since there seems to be a second extensive part to the game.
I had a bit of trouble navigating the locations, because there were several locations that were too similar (the snowy plains), and the diagonal directions (which I think could’ve been replace by cardinal ones easily) make it more difficult to have a mental map.
The graphics were amongst the best, and the setting was great (at last somewhere other that the “true” North Pole!)
It’s a bit difficult to find the exact subject to discuss with the NPCs.
Last, the help would’ve been more useful if it didn’t show the full list of common commands when no hint is available in the location. It would have been better to have a HELP command that showed how to play, and a HINT command that showed a relevant hint (or told “No hints available in this location”).
Overall, the game was charming and the NPCs colourful, so I’ll try to finish it one day.
