At least you got to start the game and finding the puzzles are very easy - 
so far, but who knows what they will be like later in the game.

Good that the game RedThread games are getting a patch out mid next week and 
hope it fixes several problems. I will wait to see if there will be more 
patches after next week. What kind of technical glitches did you find?

Do you have a PC? or always use a Mac? Does the Mac have more  problems than 
the PC?

I hope you can get some of the game played before needing a patch. in the 
old days most times you had to re-do the game from start if it was found the 
game needed a patch, rather than patching it wherever you were in the game 
and continuing.

I hope things get fixed up soon so that people can get the game and play it. 
I guess Redthread games are working on patches.

Thanks for the information Werner. I'm sure others here will also be 
interested.
