Show a little love for Cursed Mountain.

I bought it when I saw it on clearance at Walmart a couple of months ago.  I'm in the middle of playing it now.  I'm about half way through, and it has taken FOREVER to get there.  I mean that in every sense of the word.  It was probably mid-December when I started it, if not earlier, and I only gathered up the willpower to play for 4 - 5 hours.  I can't ever seem to play the game for any longer than an hour in one sitting.  Everything about the game is juuuuussssttttt ssssssoooooooo sssssllllloooooowwwwww.  Normally, a game being 8 - 10 hours is a bad thing, but it is actually too long for this one.  I want to finish it, but the end seems so far away.  I already know this game will not get a replay.  I even replayed some of the levels in The Munchables for God's sake.  Isn't this supposed to be a survival horror game?  I've got 30 incense sticks at this point and have only healed myself maybe 4 or 5 times.  And that includes the time that they force you to heal near the beginning to teach you how to do it.  The saving system sucks.  The autosave only method only works if they are frequent.  People exaggerate a lot, but for real, this game could have been done on last gen hardware.  I'm glad I only paid 10 dollars for it.

Rant over.  Sorry to rain on the parade.

This game actually has a unique, original story, and a great atmosphere.  It is too bad it was mired by such a low budget.
