I do try and push things along when there is a review, so a more leisurely play through would probably be a couple of extra hours. Rebecca didn't get time to admire the surroundings, she just ploughed on! This isn't a difficult game so she was able to maintain a furious pace, helped here and there by some hotspot reveals. I failed to mention the map in the review. It helps you get around, and will flash when a new location is added.
Quantity has a quality all of its own

Apologies flotsam (and Jenny100) !! I got so taken aback by Mikael's mention of 700 hours I forgot to say thank you for the review !! How disgusting

Phew !! Do you mean the one you are currently creating for us ?? If not, please tell what game The Birdwatcher. I don't think I've ever heard of that one Mikael - but if it takes upwards of 700 hours maybe I don't WANT to know !!

Mikael's sense of humour can be very dry at times I've found, so I did a google search of The Birdwatcher. There's apparently a book, a movie, a song and a board game with that name, but not something that should take 700 hours, lol. So, either I missed it, he's having some sort of fun, or that's the name of the next game. I didn't ask, cause like I said, dry humour. If I do ask, he will know that I want to know and then I will get weird answers. So I'm writing my thoughts here instead, so that everyone can be confused with me.

My take on the 700 hours is, that it took Mikael more than 700 hours to make his game, not play it. And its name or working title is The Birdwatcher. Let's see what Mikael says! Ana

Well, I reckon Mikael certainly won't be giving much away if it IS to do with his next release [ I did some Googling too ]
