Zeraan: Looking at this let's play - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FayITL_DCmE

In beginning, it shows you that you can use gems that you accumulated from playing games to unlock additional gifts/features/shortcuts. So you DO still make progress, even when you die.
Probably should have mentioned that somewhere on the game page, or in the actual trailer, instead of having some dumb hipster commercial.

"He"? I don't know what stream you just watched, but Lovelust is a she. I can think of a lot of GOG streamers with annoying voices, Lovelust isn't one of them. Then again, your mileage may vary, I guess, different strokes for different folks, and all that...

For those interested in checking out the game being played, the VOD of Lovelust's last night stream can be found here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/160197664 -> jump to the 1:30:00 mark, or so, since it was a double release stream and the first hour and a half she was streaming Beholder.

I didn't know that .
Is the OS thing anything other than a gimmick to justify a bad interface?

That was mainly the reason, why I bought the game (and it looked fun enough). Oh the good old times with Windows 3.x...

Unfortunately I didn't like how it is done (cluttered and "jumping/moving" windows) so I rage-uninstalled it. Might give it another shot later, though.
Why are people complaining about the price? It is only 10 bucks.

I got the Steam version of it. It's a pretty sweet game. Would recommend.

I watched the video on Twitch with Lovelust playing it, linked in earlier posts from other members. Lovelust had trouble keeping up with the moving windows, but enjoyed it as a fun challenge. The windows of the "Unburied" monsters slowly slumbered across the screen like such undead are expected to move, but the windows of other monsters might be more evasive because of a monster's own characteristics. There's one monster that will occasionally minimize it's own window, I think it was a ninja or something. In that case it must be opened again from the taskbar at the bottom in order to continue attacking it.

The poison arrows of trapped chests suddenly appear as window and shoot across the screen, spellcasters fireballs are tossed into an arch, ice storms and avalanches tumble from above, all of which can be dodged if the button in the window can be clicked soon enough. As such, the windows are a layered 2D means of physically interacting instead of a 3D envirionment. I'm failing to recall of any other game where I've been able to physically dodge anything in any way except by predetermined stats. It looks like Kingsway is much more interactive than 3D games.

The Twitch video is very long, this game starts around the 1hr 30min mark and goes on for hours, and it is played several times without ever succeeding of reaching the kingdom.

Nearly any given action/adventure/FPS/game where things have to actually hit you to hit?

There's also Star Wars: Yoda Stories Never played it, though, back then, I was absolutely not into Star Wars, and the windows GUI annoyed me. But today, I wish I had bought it.
