I didn't have any problem with the game being slow, However, I recently bought a new computer and updated my old one to be for games only. (Whooo hoo!) Got rid of all programs that were not games or internet. Plus my husband added stuff to make it faster and have better graphics.
I love this game. It's a little on the short side but I would MUCH rather have a short game that stayed interesting the entire time than a long game that got boring before the demo ended. This game was fun from start to finish, wasn't bored once! Such great little details, like similar puzzles have slightly different play. Different types of hints were appreciated and I loved collecting gems. Great art, intriguing story, lovely sound track and those mind-reader breaks were mind blowing. This game feels like it was made by gamers for other gamers instead of made by game developers who were churning out another clone. You could almost hear them saying "Hey, you know what would be cool..."
Cant wait for the sequel!
PS: Is it just me or does it seem like you get more gems if you find several items in a row? I couldn't quite figure out if I had overlooked them or if they were suddenly appearing like magic.
