Halfway through and completely addicted to "Foolish Mortals"

Mirror, mirror, on the dresser... 

After playing through the Prologue chapter, I'm now halfway through Foolish Mortals and I wish I could play this game in one sitting. Everything goes so smoothly. The puzzles all make sense - or at least after a while. The graphics, voices and music are all gorgeous. And the story is very engaging, with lots of characters and great dialogue combining background information with clues to the puzzles.

I'm going to print this out as a fake shopping list and leave it in a cart...

Part One felt like an elaborate fetch quest to find the necessary ingredients for a voodoo spell. Compare it to the recipe to guide your ship to Monkey Island. After exploring the island of Devil's Rock and seeing what's what, I actually found all seven ingredients faster than I had thought I would. 

Not quite Escher, but similarly mind-boggling...

Part Two was a bit trickier. It followed pretty much the same formula, except now I only had to gather five elements together. This time the puzzles weren't only of the inventory variety. There was one puzzle where you had to navigate a magical staircase room. This one had me try out the in-game hint system because I just couldn't figure it out. Turned out I had made the solution harder in my head than it actually was, and after realizing one particular visual element didn't matter at all, it was easy to get past this.

Once again proof I suck at dancing...

Another puzzle involved a dance floor and some basic programming, in fact. This one I finally solved on my own, though it did take a bit before I figured out what all the steps did.

After a little more than six hours of gaming, now it's on to Part Three!
