This looks like the excellent game, cant say if that's true (game received varied reviews, but generally enthusiastic). All I can say now is that music is best element of this game.

Very messy interface if you ask me...

What are z, x, c, f keys for?

When you enter status/inventory panel how do you manipulate objects? (Esc key exits, with Enter key you examine objects, there's also third key visible (space? space doesnt work))

I have the crystals and want to trade them with shopkeeper, but all I receive is his reply "oh, you dont have any?". So how exactly can I sell them?

No manual in gamefolder, no manual in web. If you played this game please give some clues...

I will try this one out to see if I can figure it out. Otherwise I have the email for the developer, so maybe he can help out (if he cant then I dont know who can :D)

eMTe:

z, x, c, f is only used once you get the items they correspond to.

There is no inventory manipulation. The third "key" are the arrow keys used to navigate the menu.

The crystals are tricky - the first one you get is used for something else (look for a place where it fits).

Ok I have a damn annoying request... Where do you save. I got around to playing chapter 2 and after a deciding that I played enough for tonight I wanted to exit. And I cant find the save option. Since I choose a savegame slot at the beginning of the game I thought that maybe it autosaved BUT no. I have to start the game all over... Any clues for me?

The game suffers from lack of feedback on where you need to go next, as well as some bugs that are potentially lethal. I know that a lot of bugs were already sorted out, and it's a very ambitious game, so Zelda fans should definitely find something here that they like, if they're patient.

think this game has amazing pros and just as amazing cons...
The pure length of this game will have you looking long for somebody who actually finished it, and the graphics isn't that inspiring either...BUT.... I think the amount of puzzles will keep you in complete symbiose with this game if you are into puzzles. This is an eternity game that you can play on and off for months on end, when oyu just feel like picking it up.
