loved the game but one little criticism (spoiler)

Loved the game but I have one problem with it. The original people that were zapped to the strange world were long dead by the time the transporter was restored. The people that restored the transporter were born into this strange world so it is technically their home. Why would they care about leaving? I think it would have been much better for the original people to try to escape. I don't know, it's just an opinion!

I thought of this too. The 4th, 5th generation wouldn't care about leaving their home to go the ancesteral home! So why are they working towards it? Fun game anyhow.

Hehe, nice one, I didn't thought of that.
But now that I do I actually don't agree that much, because if you imagine the villagers as real people, of course there would be stories passing from generation to generation, about their old land (think Moses and the Biblical Exodus)
And by seeing everyone else working for the return to happen since they were kids, I think people would just go along, because that was their goal as a village.
 
There is a nice story about this, I'm not sure if you ever heard it, but it's niceto explain behavioral interaction between individuals:
 
Think 5 monkeys, a cage, a banana, a ladder and a water hose.
The 5 monkeys would be locked in a cage, after which a banana was hung from the ceiling with, fortunately for the monkeys (or so it seemed…), a ladder placed right underneath it.
Of course, immediately, one of the monkeys would race towards the ladder, intending to climb it and grab the banana. However, as soon as he would start to climb, someone would spray the monkey with ice-cold water. In addition, however, he would also spray the other four monkeys…
When a second monkey was about to climb the ladder, the cientist would, again, spray the monkey with ice-cold water, and apply the same treatment to its four fellow inmates; likewise for the third climber and, if they were particularly persistent (or dumb), the fourth one. Then they would have learned their lesson: they were not going to climb the ladder again – banana or no banana.
Then one of the monkeys was replaced with a new one. As can be expected, the new guy would spot the banana, think “why don’t these idiots go get it?!” and start climbing the ladder. Then, however, it got interesting: the other four monkeys, familiar with the cold-water treatment, would run towards the new guy – and beat him up. The new guy, blissfully unaware of the cold-water history, would get the message: no climbing up the ladder in this cage – banana or no banana.
When the beast outside the cage would replace a second monkey with a new one, the events would repeat themselves – monkey runs towards the ladder; other monkeys beat him up; new monkey does not attempt to climb again – with one notable detail: the first new monkey, who had never received the cold-water treatment himself (and didn’t even know anything about it), would, with equal vigour and enthusiasm, join in the beating of the new guy on the block.
Same thing when 3rd monkey replacement, likewise for the fourth until, eventually, all the monkeys had been replaced and none of the ones in the cage had any experience or knowledge of the cold-water treatment.
Then, a new monkey was introduced into the cage. It ran toward the ladder only to get beaten up by the others. Yet, this monkey turned around and asked “why do you beat me up when I try to get the banana?” The other four monkeys stopped, looked at each other slightly puzzled and, finally, shrugged their shoulders: “Don’t know. But that’s the way we do things around here”…

So, if the youth potion were available at the beginning of the game, would the elders ever become elders?  Just a thought :-))

If we all felt at peace with ourselves, imagine how the world would be.

Good point, I guess they would never get old indeed :)
But then you'd miss matching and marrying them, and I really enjoyed ringing the bell.... "DING DING DING... COUPLE MATCHING TIIIIIME!!" :D

Ok, another thought.  Clearly, it's not reality there or they're much, much higher evolved than we mere mortals are, but it's unrealistic to actually remained married for so long (re: the youth potion theme), so maybe the chapel could also be some sort of nice, bell ringing partner changer too.  Humm, would that it was that easy... :-))  Giggle thoughts!  I love the bell ringing too.

My guess for the To Be Continued:
 
The little folks go back to Earth, see half of the Statue of Liberty buried in the sand, and immediately are arrested by a swarm of ape people. Just a hunch.

They are probably teleported to another world (not Earth) and that's the sequel.
And they'll have to restart from scratch.

That's when they kick themselves for trying to follow what their ancestors say about building the teleporter to go back home (Earth).

lol.
