Motion sickness?

Am a little concerned about the beta testing reports in this respect as I've been unable to play so many games because they make me queasy.

How bad is it? Is it every screen that induces this or just the odd one or two? Has anyone who normally suffers like me played with no ill effects?

Yikes, obviously I'll try it out for myself but as I can't do that yet am hoping someone can help lay my fears to rest. Have been really looking forward to SoM and will be gutted if I can't play :(

I get motion sickness easilly, but had no problem with SOM. I think it is because the movement is controlled by the mouce and I move my mouce slowly, so I wont mis clues. I think there is nothing to worry about. Just try it and see if you like it.

Well, at the risk of a certain Ms Marple accusing me of narcissism, I am once again bumping my own thread.

I can see the potential for motion sickness there, not so much in the mouse control, as in the slingshot effect you get when the screen zips back after you search something. Thankfully, for me, it's not so great as to actually stop me playing. Shades of Mystery is fabulous and has engendered exactly the same excitement in me as Noir did when I first joined. So, as long as the dizzyness factor doesn't escalate I can forsee many a happy year for me on this new game.

Thanks Ben for bringing this out and giving me back my sleuthy fervour.

Alas, it looks like I'll never get that promotion at work now ;)
