It feels like I'm around halfway through, after four or five dedicated hours of play, without consulting any outside help. Taking a break from it for now. For all I know.
The prologue is odd in that you have to solve a fairly involved puzzle before you can even save your game, and you'll probably die and restart many times before then, but it's a small map. I was never frustrated. (And I didn't solve it the "right" way.)
Actually the whole game is odd for reasons you'll quickly discover if you do start playing it. I have twice solved puzzles through brute force and luck (yes, luck; there's non-determinism afoot) and then happened upon their more elegant solutions, well after the lock had been opened. I'm not sure I like that much. But I still dig the game.
