A very nice and beautiful adventure game that I've completed several times. I longplayed this years ago and didn't include the deaths back then, or correct a bug the game has - when talking to the plant, the screen shakes, but it stops shaking when the screen is not in proper place so the screen is stuck at several pixels too low, so I've corrected that this time.
The text duration is pretty slow in most cases (depends on scene), so I set it to clickable instead so I could control when to move on to the next, but it doesn't work that good. If using clickable, I can skip/end my own talk with a simple mouse click whenever I want while not talking to anyone... but, it's random if I'm talking to someone (sometimes automated and I have no control). Like, sometimes I can skip both mine and their text, sometimes just mine. Clickable should IMO work on both every time. So I changed it back at 30:58 as I never knew when I could skip it. Happened several times I thought "OK, the text has shown long enough" and clicked just as the text was removed by the game itself, causing the new text to be removed by my click, so had to load save states several times.
I know the fireberries can be placed in the different rooms in the cave so they will always be lit when you get back to them, I did it like that in my old longplay. This time I just picked up a new berry instead when needed.
Why does he cough like a girl (or whatever to call it) at 36:57? Not hard to use a manlier one IMO. Guess it might be for comedic effect :) (the game has loads of those)
Curse you Malcom for murdering Brandon's parents! Brandon talked to his dead mother by the grave and the way she talked was like she's never really been dead for real, like her life went on elsewhere (heaven?) as she said she knew he would come, like she's been waiting. So, my first thoughts were: what has she been up to until now? And what did she do yesterday? I would ask those type of questions to her if I was in Brandon's shoes.
Some DEATHS!: (couldn't find more, but more might exist)
02:17:03 - Trying to pass the broken bridge. I display the game over menu only this time and cut it out at the end of the other deaths.
02:17:57 - This is what happens when not using the heal to remove to poison.
02:18:43 - The right move here is of course to throw the dagger back at him, but if you instead try to leave (in this case I try to enter the cave)...
02:18:59 - No fireberry = darkness = DEATH!
02:19:38 - Alternate way of leaving the island, but you won't get far :P
02:20:01 - Why do they lick their mouths if they aren't going to eat him?
02:20:18 - Try passing him without putting him to sleep with the healing spell was a bad idea.
02:20:24 - The invisible spell (or whatever it's called) doesn't just make you invisible, but things just passes through you as well, which you saw earlier when the ball went through me and bounced off the mirror. So, this time I didn't use the spell.
Nothing special:
02:20:37 - Thought I would show this room as well as you saw the other one, the one with the 4 bells and a key behind a painting (the statue is Zanthia BTW, damn Malcom!). Brandon said in the other room that it might be his grandfather's or Zanthia's room (not in this video as I never clicked on the things needed), so he wasn't sure, but as he seems to be quite sure THIS is Zanthia's room - the other one is probably his grandfather's.
Sooo, I got a bit confused. Did Zanthia use live there? Is she his sister or something? I thought she only was this chick who lived alone in the forest. Maybe she was kicked out when Malcom took over, donno. Maybe it was explained in the game and I missed it. I do have the manual with the story but too lazy to read it. I will probably read the story later, but will not edit this text even when I know everything and won't have any questions anymore :P

Sierra, look at this! THIS is how you use 32 colors!

I remember I got this as a copy from a friend as I'd fallen love with point and click due to monkeys island 2 however I remember this not having the charm of monkeys island and being really hard I just gave up it's not like we had the internet back then to help

[@iamironclaw]

Yeah, back then I had to buy magazines with hints/cheats/walkthroughs in them, or call help hot lines - which I did for this one.

[@Buster_Flex]

I don't think Zanthia is Brandons sister. In Kyrandia Book Two she is just noted as the youngest of kyrandias mystics...But I dunno

[@iamironclaw]

Wonder then why she used to live in the castle. The manual with story and everything can be downloaded here: hol.abime.net/861/manual, if you care to read. I still haven't bothered :) Thanks for watching (I assume) and commenting :)

[@Buster_Flex]

She (Zanthia) among the other mystics lived in the castle to help the king and queen (I suppose) even malcolm used to live there...

[@iamironclaw]

Efraim Schaad Ah, yes, makes sense. Like I said in my description, I will eventually read the story so I get full closure :)
