->You start the game out in Eddie's office... Then when you get outside, you can take a wallet for trading at shops, but a [[DeathByLookingUp potted plant]] will drop down, and you instantly lose a life if it clonks you. No lifebars, just lives, which really bites considering how easy it is to be killed by [[EverythingTryingToKillYou a passing rat or snake]]]. There are animals just about everywhere you go who leap at you if you get too close, and they sometimes guard helpful items, so you need a corresponding distraction item to lure them away... Of course, there are dark caverns that require you to find a light, just like the [[TheProblemWithLicensedGames not-part from the film]] where Eddie had to go bumbling about in caves for about half an hour before finding a piece of the will.

-"There's an old joke of {{famous last words}} in ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons''. The first two items on the list are 'I open the door' and 'I don't open the door.' The joke being that death comes without any real warning or ability to prevent it in ''D&D''... I don't think there's a single adventure game I played with my mother without a save file called '[[ThisIsGonnaSuck We who are about to die]]' -- a save file to be utilized whenever you are about to enter an area of such obvious danger that the odds of your not doing something that randomly kills you are basically zero. Somehow, improbably, we mistook this for fun.

->''"I was on a roof, I tried to open a gate, but clicking it just dumped me to the Game over screen without explanation. I assumed it was electrified, and only realized after solving the puzzle that, no, there was just a big scary dog behind the gate. ''On the roof.'' Presumably after having been parachuted in by the 117th Big Scary Dog Airborne Division. And which had apparently killed me the moment line-of-sight was established with his electrified Eukanuba farts."''

->''" I have a friend who we joke cannot make a character unless he actually rips out a small part of his soul to imbue the character with life, so intensely dedicated is his character creation.
