Mouse / Keyboard dexterity / coordination level for Quern
Hi , I am thinking of buying Quern. However although my mind is still relatively sharp, my mouse/keyboard dexterity is poor these days, sign of getting old !. Do any of the Quern puzzles require quick keyboard/mouse skills? I have played some great games that I have enjoyed for a while and then the puzzles get to a level where they require too much dexterity for me to solve and I have to give up - or get my adult children to solve for me ! Cheers.

From what I can remember, I don't believe any of the puzzles rely on quick action. What I do remember, is this is still my favorite game ever. 10/10

I can't actually remember any stage of this game where speed or timing is particularly required, except for one "simon" musical notes puzzle where you do have to remember a very long sequence and replicate it. I've heard that some players record it on their phones and then step through the recording to solve the puzzle...

To be honest, I needed neither speed nor agility for the puzzles mentioned there. While I can see how a speed potion could help in both cases, the one puzzle, as mentioned there, was found to need too much agility and timing and was changed, and the other was never intended to be solved that way.

I am disabled with feeling and dexterity issues in my hands. I have not had any issues with moving around with game.

The only problem I had was falling off the spiral staircase (not enough handrails) when rushing up it. You have to coordinate the Forward motion on the W key while steering Left with the mouse. If I wasn't falling off, I'd be plowing into the central pillar.
If you take it slow though, by just tapping the W, it's no problem at all.
