I got my computer up and running (thankfully, and to my surprise, I just had to purchase a new power supply to replace the one that caught fire.)
I played a few hours of Epistory and I generally liked it, but I hit a snag in the difficulty that I just can't seem to get past and I got tired of playing the same sequence over and over again so I think I'm done with the game. I'm at the end of the mine level, and I even went back and got enough points to purchase all of the available upgrades and I'm still not able to complete this section. I even turned off the "adaptive difficulty" (since I type pretty fast anyway) and set it to "easiest" and still wasn't able to proceed past this part. I'm thinking there is just something I'm doing wrong, because the rest of the game hasn't been that difficult so far - but I keep alternating between my powers pretty effectively I think, just end up getting overwhelmed by baddies in the end.
It's a shame, because I would have really liked to finish it.
