Please read the included README file for hints and instructions.

This game is really quite terrible. It was an experiment in using Unreal Engine 4's Blueprint visual scripting to substitute C++.

Based on the result, it's clear that Blueprint accomplishes exactly what it set out to. Blueprint is intended as a way for those with little programming background and a significant artistic inclination to create a game of their own, without having to enlist the aid of a programmer. It is for that reason I think Blueprint can be a very helpful tool.

However for a programmer like myself, I think it's a MUCH better idea to stick to C++ or some embedded scripting language.

P.S. Apologies for the relatively huge file size, it's just the nature of UE4, I guess.

Unfortunately I can not play this game because msvcr120.dll is missing. The installation of the Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Redistributable didn't help either.

Same dll problem here. I had trouble with with my game as well. Just including the dll files in the game folder worked for me.

I get a framerate of ~2FPS, which makes the game pretty much unplayable. The graphics look really awesome, too bad my computer can't handle it. Seem like it would be a nice exploration experience though.

Really wanted to try. I tried to install the missing library, but with no luck. It's a shame, the game looks pretty tasty.

Beautiful graphics. Cool experiment to test the UE. :)

For people having trouble with the missing dll: Install the Visual C++ Redistributable 2013 package: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784 (I have both x86 and x64 so I don't know which one is correct)

I'd love to try some games made on unreal engine. But unfortunately my laptop is not good enough to run it ;_; so I cannot rate your game. When I run it, the frame rate is so low that I cannot bear... I hope I can get a new laptop soon.

Nice try use UE4 :)
I liked the effect of the house in a storm of sand.
But without reading notes is strangely. And music adds a better atmosphere.
