The Ransom of Atawallpa

I just want to share my thoughts about this game. When I first looked at it I thought it was going to be a simple, quick, little game. I was wrong. Steam shows I played for 55.6 hours and most of that time was actually spent playing. Though I did play it two times, most of that time was spent on the first play through because I had gotten stuck in a puzzle and really wanted to solve it. In the end I did have to skip it in the first play through. I don't want to say there was a glitch because it was fine on my second play through so maybe it was just some quirk that was caused by something I did. I admit to some frustrating moments in both play throughs but in different areas of the game. That was a little unfortunate because I had hoped to get through it the second time without issues as I wanted to just enjoy the scenery and game play. The game does require a lot of miscellaneous clicking around to see if you can pick something up or get information of some kind. There are no "hot spots" telling you what you can interact with. That can get frustrating for some people and more so in some parts of the game, however, this really is a beautiful and fun little game that you…

Pleasant to wander around looking for gold to gather. Amazing scenes, like visiting Perú years past. Never played Edutainment before. Nice change in casual point and click gaming. Story line of the magic urn and the stolen llama add to the discovery. Game journal very interesting. Having the map to jump back and go forward is really helpful. Little surprises here and there, like easter eggs, great fun. Highly recommended for a new kind of game

I am really enjoying this game so far, but it is so hard without a walkthrough! I am stuck on only the 2nd level, and I know there are many more levels. The UI is also a bit clunky, especially your item inventory and the map. I got all gold on Medium on level 1 but didn't get the achievement for some reason.
