I was playing Shivah again today and found myself stuck. I searched on-line for a FAQs, because I am weak. But there were no FAQs, so I had to start trolling through forums to find one, *le sigh*, I hate forums. It is there that the lowest of the internet species live out their lives, bitterly complaining and venting their powerless rage on the fellow lifeless husks that live there with them. Only the bravest of explorers goes there or the most hardened veterans. I finally found one in the forums of the game developers, I looked over some of the hints I didn’t want an entire walk-through just a point in the right direction. Turns out the FAQ was only for the deluxe version of the game. I went back into the game and tried some more, fiddled around and discovered a game mechanic that isn’t mentioned in the docs anywhere?! This opened up a few more conversation paths for me, which lead to a new location, which lead to me dying… not fun. I still like the game, but from my readings in the forums, the deluxe 5 dollar version has many of the trickier and esoteric parts of the game fixed. I don’t really want to pay money for a game I already have… still it might be worth checking out if you want to spend 6 dollars on an retro styled adventure game, here’s the link.
