What do you mean by "It's not a smooth running game." ?
The Minimum system requirement is

If your computer is on the low end of the requirements, check the Menu Options to see if you can turn down graphics enhancements and get it to run better.

If you are having trouble understanding what the potions and things do, be aware it's not a classic adventure style game. You may want to check a YouTube playthrough like this one to see how it's played.

Thanks for that link Jenny. I watched the first part. I bought this game in November for a much higher price than I would normally pay for a game of this type because it does intrigue me, even though I don't think I will know or understand how to play it, even after watching the first video.

Beerhead, if you continue to play the game, please let us know if you got used to the "skills" and "decisions" and what not, and whether you like the game.

I had to watch several of Mr. Odd's videos before I started to understand how the system worked. There are a lot of subtleties to it and you don't always know what characteristic will be of use.

So you played the game Jenny? Did you like it?

No, I watched Mr. Odd play it on YouTube.
I thought it had an interesting story.
As far as I can tell, there is no DRM-free shop selling it, so I won't be buying or playing it.

If you watch more of Mr. Odd's playlist for the game, you may eventually get the hang of the skill system.
If not, you can still enjoy the story by watching him play it.
