[exploration/puzzle/strategy] Malayalam

Malayalam: Island of Mysteries is a super fun game where you are trapped on a desert island. This may sound cliche, but trust me when I say that this is no ordinary island. You must escape mysterious creatures, complete quests, fix machinery, and ultimately find a way to escape.

Sounds like a good game. I'll try it. (I hope it's not a horror game with screamers.)

No. It's some kind of boring survival game where you can't do anything because you have to eat and drink all the time because the time goes super fast and if you don't check your status 24/7 you will die and ragequit because you probably haven't saved in a while.

I hate games with hunger/thirst system.

I appreciate your input, but did you really play the game?

The control is absolutely horrible in general.  It takes forever to do something as simple as get a few logs.

Yes I have. But I was exaggerating if you didn't get it.

The user interface and gameplay is very awkward, and the areas feel really empty - what's with huge plains with nothing but stuff lying on the ground and a couple trees? The game and especially the idea sure has potential but this doesn't quite nail it.

Seriously, people. This game is ABOUT the places like that and the quirks of control. It's a survival game. Not WoW.

Well, I'll admit that the actions such as chopping wood are downright horrible. But I agree with you, I think people are either missing the point or not bothering to play past the first time they die because they are lazy.

Well, nice game, but as said previously the controls are horrible. I guess the whole interface should be redone be ergonomists.
