--------------------------------------



This is a well developed 3D interactive game set in a small township for you to explore and solve puzzles and is set in the 1800's. You must complete tasks to progress through the game of Johan Vilhelm Snellmans life and experience his achievements and literary works. There are areas that are blocked and I'm not sure but you may be able to unlock some of these areas throughout the game. Also there are, in a couple of sections within the game, codes that you will need to write down and decipher.



Even though this game is not in English, everyone, young or old can still enjoy it. The first task was rather simple but after that I bumbled my way through the game completing 13% of it in well under an hour. Just a tip to start everyone off, within the first area of play, have a look around you and see what's happening, then go and speak to the lady who is nearby.





My only other tip I can give you for now is to look out for objects and people that have a light coloured circle around them. One of the areas that I had difficulty understanding was the night scene. I just couldn't work that part out and I'm sure many others won't be able to either.







This freeware game is a must download even if you can't understand it. Maybe this is half the fun. I'll leave it at that and won't put too many screenshots up as it will just spoil your adventure. Some parts of the game you will not be able to work out due to the Finnish language that it was written in but apart from that, there are many hours of enjoyment still to be had.
