Has anyone played this game? I've only been playing a short time and have already encountered a QTE. Grrrr! There is a mini game a bit like the old Breakout game where you have to clear the clouds from the sun in order to receive the friendship bracelet and I just CANNOT do it. There doesn't seem to be a skip available. I really hope I haven't wasted my money because I can't get through it. Has anyone any idea if there is a way round it?

Thanks opcvop. I did eventually manage to beat it over 3 cups of tea! I have now completed the game and thoroughly enjoyed the rest of it. I have posted a comment on Steam so we'll see if that evokes any kind of response. I am always banging on about this on GB. Lost Horizon 2 and Silence had this sort stuff and, although I did finish both games, they were, for me, far less enjoyable than their respective predecessors. And don't even get me started on King's Quest! I could NOT do the surfboarding thing and just gave up. I don't see the point of mixing different genres of games together. Those who enjoy adventure don't want QTEs and fans of fast action are not going to play adventure nor will it attract players of one genre to the other. So, if there are any devs out there reading this, please, please PLEEEEASE don't do this!
