Day 3
repeated most of the stuff I did yesterday & finished the game (WOOHOO). it was prolly just a bug (no pun intended :p) or my DC playing up yesterday.
EPITAPH:
I feel kinda sorry its finished, I've really gotten attached to the little critter. it certainly is one of the best (read: weirdest) gaming experiences I have ever had (and thats coming from a guy who's been gaming for 31 years or so :lol:)
its def in my all time top 10 (I think even top 5, coz of the sheer weirdness of the game's nature). I highly recommend it, though its not for everyone, as its not really a "game" like we're used to and you can't rush through it.
also now that I've re-read my report, I guess you can finish it in 3.5 or 4 weeks at most if you spend 15 to 30 minutes a day on it (I had a bunch of days where I just did the basics [feeding/air/temp] just to keep them alive. I guess if you really take the time to talk to em every day they'll evolve a lot faster.
consider this a sort of walkthrough (though I think its more just guidelines, since he asks so many different questions at different times) by your humble servant.
2bad, I finally found a pet I wasn't allergic to :D
cheers
