Not just you! That game was just plain weird. I too found it disorientated and well, just strange. The ending still has me wondering what the heck happened. I remember I thought it would all come together, but for me it did not. Liked the music, the graphics were nice, but a storyline that made sense would have been better. There was a lot of discussion about this game I think here on Boomers..after I played I went back and read them, boy, I missed something. So don't feel bad, you have at least that feels exactly as you do. I think let down is the best I can describe for that one. Ingie

I started it a few times over the last 2 years and could never get into it. However I do want to play and complete it someday before I die.

I thought Faust was a fascinating game. One reason the plot seemed disjointed is that you're learning about things that happened in the past, and you don't learn them all in chronological order. Here\'s the thread where many of the themes of the game were discussed and someone from Arxel answered some questions.

It is the most interestig game based on the seven deadly sins; avarice, gluttony. sloth, jeousy, wrath, lust, greed. If you rethink the game in the frame of the deadly sins you will make sense of it.
There is no chronological order, there is only the consequence of the offence.

I'm surprised to read that so many of you didn't like this game. It's one of my favorites and each time I replay it I gain a few new insights that I hadn't caught before. To me it's more than a game...a kind of study of human nature. And combined with the wonderful soundtrack, playing it is a unique experience. Cynch

Not a fan of this game either, but alot of it has to do with all the problems I had with it, constatnly crashing, freezing, etc, for me it was the buggiest games I have ever encountered.
