    Have you been had by the illusion, or is this a joke? The horsey shapes are shadows. The actual zebras are the stripey bits at their feet.

      Not a joke, not been had. An unwary predator would dive bomb the shadow instead of the zebra if attacking from above.

          Oh man, this game! No problems getting through the story line and defeating the final boss, but I never could kill those horsemen dudes you may meet in a random encounter on the map. The lack of autosave led to many rage quits.

            We laughed at the protagonist.

            Sticking his hand into a fire thinking it was the way and having it burned off… ok, he was tricked by a greatly trusted person in his life.

            Then later accepting that the problem was not that it burned off his hand, but he should have put his entire body in…

            Our conclusion was that the ending where you jump in are his friends making a cover story of how stupid he was to just jump in the fire and claiming he in fact did become some invisible divine being, and that’s why you can’t see him, not because he was a gullible idiot.

        …and there was a study showing that horses wearing a striped pattern cover had fewer flies land on them.
