STORY
"Ladies and Gentlemen! Come in, come in! In the mood for a story, are we?"
Abby is an artiste held captive at a circus: She spends her days entertaining the audience and her nights in a cage, longing for freedom. One day, she escapes the circus and gets to explore a mystical world.
Alas, freedom comes at a cost and Abby soon finds herself dragged into the dangers this world has to offer: In a war-torn, medieval fairytale, surrounded by ravaged, starving citizens and hunted by the relentless cut-throat Tonda, Abby has to cross raging rivers, make it through bandit camps and around traps.
Her adventure is always accompanied by the lyrical rhymes of puppet master Jack, who is telling her story while holding the strings of his puppets firmly in his ever-helpful hands.
Who can Abby trust? Can she find a way to truly break free? Despite dangling from her threads, will Abby learn that she can still influence her destiny?
"Abby, Abby... Don't you see, the threads holding you up – also hold you back."
I loved the art style, presentation, music and narration (in German) so much. Shed a tear at the end because of the cute story. The main charakter is a puppet and moves like one but doesn't come off as liveless. I had a few occasions where I had to look up the solution for a puzzle, I am unsure if this was just me or if the game design was a bit unlucky. All in all I very much recommend the game as I enjoyed it!
The 2 hour average definitely fits this story. There puzzles were very easy, with only one confusing me since I didn't understand the mechanic for a little while, but I figured it out.
The story was really good, and i liked the final boss battle.
