Call of Cthulhu: Prisoner of Ice

Hier geht's zu meinem Nostalgie-Waetsch's Play: https://youtu.be/I9KlzCxy_-Y Da haben wir uns ja schön was eingebrockt. Einen durchgeknallten Forscher gerettet, zwei seltsame Kisten an Bord unseres U-Boots geholt und seit dem nur Probleme. Nach dem die Deutschen unser U-Boot beschossen haben und der Kapitän tot ist, müssen wir das Kommando übernehmen. Da fällt mir gerade auf, laut Spiel sind wir im Jahr 1937, wenn ich das richtig in Erinnerung habe, da war der Zweite Weltkrieg noch gar nicht ausgebrochen, aber sei es drum. Ein Blick in den Laderaum offenbart uns dann auch noch, dass scheinbar etwas aus den Kisten gekrochen ist. Also lösen wir ein Rätsel nach dem nächsten nach bestem Point & Click-Manier. Die Grafik besticht dabei durch eine Kombination aus abgefilmten/ gerenderten Charakteren und schön gezeichneten Hintergründen. Die Texte und die Sprachausgabe sind in Deutsch und wirklich gut eingesprochen. Was die Rätsel betrifft, so sind diese allesamt logisch und zu kapieren. Einzige Hürde, man muss die Bildschirme sehr sorgfältig mit der Maus absuchen, um nichts zu übersehen. Kommt man irgendwo nicht weiter, hat man mit Sicherheit eine Kleinigkeit übersehen. Das ist etwas fummelig, aber so war es eben damals. Ansonsten spielt sich das Adventure immer noch einwandfrei und macht auch heute noch Spaß.

I was in the 90s playing a lot of point and click games, but this one passed me totally. I didn't know it existed back in a day, i just recently found out that it existed on FB group. Checked it out on gog.com if its available, it was and i bought it, i'll buy the shadow of the comet next. Now what suprised me the most, story is very interesting, i really was invested whats going on. Graphics and animations are for the time quite well, voice acting could be better because sounds emotionless in practially all the characters and not so diffrent from person to person. It had a little Indiana Jones vibe because Nazis are present, they spoil the party and it has that supernatural and magic stuff. I would say that puzzles most of the time are quite logical, you rarely get stuck (and if you get stuck is because item is so small pixel that you just don't see it, or puzzle at the end of the game with the stones which i don't know how you should know which stone to connect and in what order). And timed puzzles are not annoying, usually are in games but here you quickly find out what you must do in most of them, so they are not annoying and there is autosave present (so you don't get screwed by save games). But game is very short i finished it before 4 hours of playtime, yes it's faster because puzzles are not so difficult or completely illogical but i would see that it would be at least 2 hours longer, because story really gets more and more interesting but than its over before you know it. It feels like game was rushed a little bit so it would catch te release date or something. And yes it could have VA for when you look items and stuff, but again, maybe the game was rushed like i said. Overall, if you like point and click games and like Lovecrafts theme go for it and buy it.

If you like Cthulhu and adventure games, where you don't have tons of garbage with you, I think you'll like this one. I like how fast the main character moves. Makes it a game you can play if you have 20min.

This itty bitty point and click story within Lovecraftian mythos isn't particularly strong or compelling but if you enjoy classic point and click adventures, you'll find yourself right at home.

I play this game when i was 9 , around 1999 , now as manage to finish it , i didnt speak english at that time since i'm from latam , Grate game, a little of moon logic but it was really fun to re-play it and finish it
