This is the first puzzle game I've purchased and it was HARD. If it wasn't for the cheats and shortcuts site I found I would have never gotten past the first puzzle. The graphics are great, but again not an easy puzzle. If your a novice at puzzle games like I am stay away from this one. Wish I had found an easier game to start with that would have stirred my interest if looking for more puzzle games. Think I'll stick with my strategy games such as Pharaoh.

try updating your graphics card driver. should help. i gave this 5 stars because it shouldn't be dragged down by 2 people who don't know what they're doing. keep your computers up to date and make sure it meets the minimum requirements for this game, otherwise it probably won't work

I am giving this game one star because I had the exact same problem that J. Tyson had. I think I would have like it if I had been able to play it beyond the first level. A note to J. Tyson: Would you please let me know if you find a solution to this problem.

Good for Myst Enthusiasts

This is quite an enjoyable game for those of us who adore the first-person Adventure genre, particularly of the 'ageless fantasy' type, a la Myst, Riven, etc. Reasonably difficult puzzles, beautiful surroundings, and atmospheric music are all there.

My fellow and I were at first disappointed to see that we were forced into the role of an already created character, Umang, and that the people in the game were 3D renderings, rather than live video. Umang, however, really grew on us. He's so cheerful and dedicated to his quest!

The quest is a bit mysterious; as some have already noted, the storyline is somewhat vague. Talking of the few drawbacks, it is a bit odd that certain areas to remain unapproachable until one talks to a certain character, but we chalked this up to Umang's politeness (a good quality, of course, though mildly disruptive to gameplay in this one respect). Note also that there are some peculiar sounds present in all scenes that have nothing to do with what's going on (e.g. siren, snarling beast noise, rustling). These alarmed us the first few times we heard them.

Good fun, immersing, easy to get around, and one is motivated to explore simply due to the impressive surroundings. Definitely worth a go!

Just another Puzzle Game

You enter a room, collect some things, and solve a puzzle. Then, you enter another room and solve a puzzle. Then, you go outside and solve a puzzle. Then, you go someplace else and solve some puzzles. Exquisitely rendered graphics cannot compensate for the absence of a story, interesting characters, or dialogue. One walkthrough simply dismisses the game and tells you how to solve the puzzles. It is just another puzzle game.

I must not be a puzzle game person because I have no idea how anyone could get through these puzzles in a reasonable amount of time. The objects are so alien looking that I have no idea what to do with the things that I have picked up. I found a walk thru online and used it for the Gazebo outside on the first world. If I didn't have that there is no way I would have been able to solve it. Luckly I only paid $7 for this at Electronics Bountique and didn't feel that bad about breaking the CDs in half and throwing everything in the trash in fustration.

I love the type of game where you can explore new worlds. The best part of this game is the overall No holds barred being able to look all around you! It's awesome. And the music...the puzzles. It keeps you interested and I love it!

This game gave me trouble almost from the start. It asked for CD1 after full install then gave an error message, it wouldn't accept CD1. What error? I don't know. I installed the patch but that did no good. The game just wouldn't play. I tried the game on another new computer and the same problems arose.

I was able to play up to where the dude asked for puzzle pieces then it all fell apart.

If you buy this game I hope you have better luck than I. I am a fan of adventure games. I am not a fan of Aura.
