A Gem of an Adventure Game

I found the game from an obscure Let's Play, and I'm glad I picked it up! I'm also glad that I stopped watching and went in as spoiler-free as possible, because the story certainly benefits from a blind first playthrough. That being said, it was the perfect game to unwind with after the RPG fare I've been playing. The game is a fun mix between Lucasarts' old point-and-click gameplay and story with some of the fun and humor from Sierra's greats. It's also more forgiving than the likes of King's Quest and The Dig; offering logical puzzles and warning the player when it would be wise to save their game. That being said, there are a couple of puzzles that are more obtuse and potentially frustrating than others. They are still nowhere near as bad as some of Sierra's more infamous moments though. Furthermore, I played this game on its "Classic" mode, so I assume it's "Modern" mode may be better for you if you are easily frustrated by puzzles. The story itself is a simple, fun adventure with a fantastic atmosphere. Again, going in blind is the best way to experience a first playthrough. That said, the characters themselves carry much of the charm of the game. For such a vanilla-seeming protagonist, Finn has A LOT to say and do concerning the things he can interact with. Even if its just flavor text, there so much of it that it really fleshes out him and the world he inhabits. That's the highlight of the game for me, but the death scenes and a certain point in the story also put a grin on my face; since I kept underestimating how far the game was willing to go. Even if you haven't dipped your toes much into point-and-click adventure games, this game is a great one. The full price may seem a bit steep for such a short game (especially in today's open-world climate), but the characters and the adventure are worth the price of admission. I hope that the devs will make another adventure game someday, because they produced a gem here.

Delightful but with baggage

It's a great game and a throwback to the games I miss so dearly from my childhood. However, it also showcases why those games died out the way it did and were reborn as games that were more linear. The art is incredible, the characters are very charming, and the story is top notch! However, the puzzles can be very hard to figure out, especially with how ordinary the items are and expects you to use them in extraordinary ways. Although the story is really good, the telling is mid. After a while the game has to hit the breaks and do an exposition moment to explain exactly what the plot is, which isn't a very natural way of telling a story. The dub kind of ruins the dialogue. It is very over the top and anime-like. The voice actors are very skilled and did great voices for the characters, which gave them a lot of personality, but sadly the direction was not very good and caused some serious moments to have a goofier tone. Still, with that baggage, it's a very worthwhile game to play and I highly recommend to anyone seeking to satisfy that hunger for classic adventure games!

Great Point & Click adventure

Really great adventure compared after getting it, and even better in my opinion in German. For those wanting there is a classic mode where you have to search a bit more at few moments and a modern mode which highlights potentials and reduces time based puzzles, which are.. just a few? didn't have any issue when running both modes side by side, not too much difference. So when you start just decide if you want additional "pixel" hunt or, for the few affected, a bit more clearer indication where something interesting could be. Only real issue about the game is the length. This is what all adventures have if you put the puzzles in sequence. Most solve it with strange/illogical puzzles, that make you think "why.....", but this game does not do that so, so that is a massive plus and thus an unfair feeling it might be short. But logical harder ones would been nice, but maybe future games/sequels. In all this is a highly recommended to have for true adventure games, and should not be missing out in your collection. Here is to hoping the game is greatly received and that many more amazing adventures will out. Good sides: 1. The graphics and animations are done really proper, the jokes are matching though of course it depends on your own taste 2. Everything voices, and majority of items have their own feedback instead of a few generic ones 3. Good story and flow of puzzles 4. Old point & click vibe for those that crave it 5. References to other old point & click games (I think) 6. You can die but warned beforehand, and despite it clear when can, and you will do it for fun Down sides: 1. No full screen support, seems to be engine issue (fixed in future?) 2. Most puzzles fall a bit too fast into place, aside from a few, some harder would be nice. 3. Uses old style 9 verb commands, but rarely use most (reason modern ones consolidate) 4. Some puzzles later feel weird to solve because of point 3 5. There is a weird boat moment 6. Too short, would like more :)

Great game, somewhat strange puzzles

I really love the game with the art, the soundtrack and also the voice-over. It is a real gem, as others have already pointed out. Especially the story is well thought of and has some ideas worth meditating over. What I didn' t like where the puzzles. They are - at least in part - rather frustrating. Things like "you have to do X three times and no one warns you, it might behave different on third try" and also the death mechanic was a bit arbitrary (from a conceptual point). Whereas some action (make yourself noticable) will lead to certain death in one situation, it is required to solve a puzzle in a different situation. In principle, the game (at least on modern style) autosaves, before you could die. So, why build in death as a concept at all? Other point and clicks manage by letting the character say something like "this would be incredibly stupid" and refusing to act. All in all: I wouldn' t have solved it without a walkthrough and yet I wouldn't wanna miss the game and story.

A great new adventure game

This game feels like a long lost Lucas Arts adventure game that just got uncovered. The graphics are nice, the story is great, the voice acting is top notch, the characters are fun, and the soundtrack is nice. There are a few bugs that should be ironed out, but the game is still very much playable from start to finish. It really makes you want more from the game's universe, perhaps a sequel, a prequel or other story in the universe.
