Reading your experience with this game reminded me of the time when I had to play Zelda and wait for the issue of a magazine that gave the “Cheats” or explained how to overcome certain things within the game.
It was exhausting, nowadays it's different and everything is at your fingertips and at any time through Youtube, times that will never come back, but I'm glad you enjoy this game, it sounds quite interesting what you describe about it, greetings! 💕
i think almost anyone could play this game. The stone thing was me just needing to open my eyes a bit, it was there the whole time. I just lost my patience.
