Yes it is...
I played it a bit and it is good. For anyone who likes fantasy and old-school adventure games, I would say...

This game is really great. You can read my review of it here and also an interview with its creator. Unfortunately, a full English version hasn't been released so far.

I'm unable to recommend a place where you could buy it. The Polish and Italian versions actually have English voiceovers, but the game includes also some text present only in writing (books and such) and you would miss out on it if you played those.

You could try to contact the game's publisher Future Games and ask them if a full English version is coming any time soon.

I also must say that in the Italian version (which I have, even if I haven't played the game yet), as far as I know, the translation substantially modify three or two moments of the game.

As I said, I haven't played the game yet. But it is what the press (reliable press, I mean) says about the game. I don't have the article right here, right now. Later today I'll see if I can post an English translation of the segment in question.

I don´t know anything about that and it certainly interest me- can you be more specific, please?

Edit: Ascovel has been so much faster and you too :-) Thanks for info.

How about if we apply the English SUBs patch on Italian version, so the version will become Full English :-)

I'd like to add that there's a fully localized German version available now.

I gather from several other message boards that the game doesn't perform very well (bug-wise) under Win7 so I'd recommend for everyone who wants to play it to do so under XP.

(I played the German version on a virtual XP machine on a MacBook Pro and it was flawless).

Don't use the default Program Files(x86) in Win 7. I installed it in My Documents and it played just fine. Good game, I enjoyed it.
