I have played the game to completion, and enjoyed it thoroughly.  It consists
of a long involved story, broken into small chapters.  Most chapters require
that you complete some kind of puzzle before being allowed to go to the next.
Soem are word games, some require dexterity with the mouse, some are memory,
and some are just plain logic problems.  Once you have completed the story,
you must then complete the Sun's map to find the 14 hidden treasures.

All in all I found this game quite refresshing.  It caused me to think
beyond remebering where I have been and what I have collected and who
I have killed.  You can get it mail order for under $30, and I would 
recommend it.  When you win you get a 4 minute "animation" played for
you.
