Lost, cold, with a dwindling health bar, and running extremely late, I'm beginning to wonder what I'm missing. My journey through the Scottish Highlands feels like a failed attempt, and I'm considering whether I should simply start over, or indeed if I'm about to chalk A Highland Song up as a game that's simply not for me.
As flighty runaway Moira, I'm supposed to be working my way over the peaks that lie between my stifling home and the lighthouse inhabited by my distant, introverted uncle Hamish. Summoned with next to no notice, I'm to complete my journey by Beltane, the Gaelic May Day festival, but I've almost no time at all to make it, and very little in the way of either supplies or mountaineering knowledge to guide me. That never seems to bother Moira too much - my spunky protagonist is content to shelter in whatever nook she can find, even if it means yet another freezing night - but within a day or two of starting out, it's starting to seriously hinder my progress.
