A 20 year old game that keeps on giving and that I keep coming back to. Hundreds of hours of content in campaigns alone.

Incomplete.

I was expecting something like Dear Esther, uncovering the mysteries of the island & the character while you're exploring scenic vistas or haunting caves. Instead there's a swathe of issues detracting from the experience, turning this into a game with the player trying to find & decipher the dialogue snippets. A few things I noticed in my brief 20 minutes of gameplay:
- The distant land is bugged. You can see trees in perfect clarity but not the land underneath them. RESOLVED(ish)
- Buildings exist but are un-enterable.
- The path is covered in shrubs, making it easy to lose.
- Some objects are not placed on the ground but rather hover above it.

This needs a fair few improvements to make it worthwhile.

EDIT: Since I've been asked, I've played the latest version for another 40 minutes. Screenshots with comments can be found in the linked imgur gallery, otherwise i'll surmise here.

This review of "Not recommended" will remain for the following reasons:
- Footfalls (steps) only have a single sound regardless of surface. This is jarring, and breaks immersion.
- Its fairly easy to find floating objects. There is little care & attention to detail in placing objects.
- There are a number of objects that you can walk through.
- Its also not hard to find a clearly uncompletded section of the map.
