I think I am now approximately half way through the game. Two brothers got into the dungeon with the help of the troll. Inside the dungeon, the puzzles are noticeably more difficult than the outside world. In one of the part, it requires the younger brother to open some sort of gate looking thing, while the older brother is hanging on the chain belt to get by some of the obstacles. One of the tricky part was when the two brothers had to jump sideways while hanging on the wall, to the other side. I was stuck for a good amount of time because I thought jumping sideways like that wouldn’t be possible. Later, I got to the part where I had to use the young brother to steal the key to save an old lady troll. After saving the old lady troll, the guard troll (who had the key) notices that there are intruders. I immediately thought I had to damage the guard troll somehow to defeat him. But instead, I just had to use a clever trick to put the guard troll back into the prison cell. Shortly after, I encountered another troll and defeated him with a similar trick as before.
I am not a huge gamer, nor have played lot of games before in the past. However, the times when I did play some games, it most likely involved some sort of action, whether that is to damage, or to kill someone in the game. Even in other adventure games targeted for younger audience, such as Zelda, has some sort of action/violence associated with it, but I was not able to see any of that so far in this game. In my opinion, games like this would be great for kids. It is important to teach the right ethical manners when growing up and this game demonstrates that perfectly by not using any violence in the game (or at least not as violent as other T rated games).
