I believe in the Almighty and I found nothing wrong, , not evil , not dark.
Perhaps it might be overwhelming for a 5 year old or under - but it's clearly
targeted for the 10-17 year old IMO and I think most kids would enjoy the
adventure aspect of the game - even if they could care less about chess.

Of course, you have a right to your own opinion and you may choose how to spend
your dollars anyway you choose.  However,  I think your opinion would be in the
minority.

The full game installed on my machine without any problems at all and it does
run in a window, if that is your preference.
