Typical Stuck In Attic game
This game is pretty similar and at the same time extremely different from their predecessor Gibbous. Both games are oozing passion, love for detail and beautiful handmade frame by frame animations at every corner. Both games are colorful and impress with interesting and charming characters and both games have a beautiful and fitting soundtrack. Everything in both games is handmade and it shows that the devs really love what they do and are aiming to deliver the best game they could. However. While Gibbous was a typical classic point and click adventure in which you could - by design - sometimes be stuck for quite a while the goal in Near-Mage was to provide an experience that is relaxing and engaging but never frustrating. The game is advertized as narrative-heavy experience and that is exactly what it is. The game is not meant to be challenging it is meant to be enjoyable. If you are aware about that you will really enjoy the many characters, the well performed lip synchronized voice overs, the coming of age story, the beautiful surroundings, the joy to experiment with spells, outfits and dialogue choices and the many animated wonders these devs have in store for you to surprise you. Without spoiling too much I'd like to add that fans of the predecessor Gibbous will probably have even more fun with it since both games are playing in the same universe ..... Choices in the game will influence the story and/or later quests. Sometimes a certain choice in one situation might even lead to a new quest later in the game ... so it is important how you chose - it is also completely up to you ... so you will have additional fun and replay value to try out different things and solutions. If you enjoyed the beautiful art, atmosphere and soundtrack of Gibbous and always wanted to have more of it but with a more relaxed gameplay which will give you the opportunity to really dive into the scene and enjoy the story - you won't get disappointed here.
