Sherryah, I just downloaded and it did not take very long, the usual 4-5 minutes for me.

Well I just hope it downloads for you, no matter how long it takes, as long as you can get it, that's what matters. I always feel bad when people can't ever download the games.Especially if its a good one.

I downloaded this A.M. before I left for work and had no problems. When I download and it seems to be going too slow, I close it and try again... not sure why but it usually helps. I can't wait to get home to play it. 
Prices are going up everywhere except in our incomes.

I also just finished it with the happy ending. The game took about 10-12 hours to complete. I found it to be a good story line, not hard a bit challenging in some cases, I had to use a hint twice and there is no limited timer to deal with. Its definately a HOG. I considered the grafics to be mid line and not annoying. All objects were fairly easy to identify and find. I also think the game is replayable. There are some side games involved in finding objects and solving puzzles. Not very many types of puzzles to solve but pleasant.

I liked this one too even though it's a bit short and pretty easy. In fact, I've played it twice already. I chose the selfish ending to see what happens. Jane lives a long and healthy life, but not very happy because she knows the spirits are waiting on her. Finally it's her time to take her place as a spirit in the castle for eternity. I couldn't leave poor Jane trapped in the castle, so I played through again to see the other ending. I liked the unselfish option much better.

You should try replaying...sometimes it's better the second time around. I get so fixated on the ending (especially the mystery themes)that I forget to enjoy the little things along the way. Sorry sorry sorry.  I knew I should have used spoiler tags, but my brain went dead right before I hit the submit button.

I'm clocking in at around 4 something hours so far (over the span of a few days and I did read the dialogue) and I know I'm near the end. It's a little on the short side but IMHO, I still think it's "worth" $19.99 at full price. I think we need to keep things in perspective in that us club members are used to the $6.99 price tag. I've bought plenty of adventure games before that were also short but paid $19.99+ (most recently Art of Murder). If I'm entertained for 4+ hours, then it's worth it to me. Still cheaper than going to see two movies.
