Order of the Thorne: The King's Challenge

Not very long but feels like missing KQ game. Loved it!

Sort of played like a more brief King's quest game. Didn't leave me frustrated at all and was a pleasant play.

Scenario is good. The voice acting, dialogues (you actually have to pay attention to) and background are great. Had to play in windowed mode with graphic filter to set window size (linux). Bug : The love reunion part, you are told you need to play a song and give a flower. I played twice the song and it did the trick, however giving the flower later get some dialogues back and one PNJ back in the wrong place forbidding access to an area rending progression impossible. Hopefully a save let me being able to finish the game without giving the flower. Some small flaws, tedious moments (labyrinth style with timing punishment encounters area hopefully not too difficult), some little back and forth (use left click then right click : to 'teleport'). But in the end, a good short game, worth the money with a fair reduction. Looking forward to next chapter. Thanks.

This was quite a nice little adventure with an art style and story that were clearly an homage to classic Sierra games. My only qualm is that, unlike classic Sierra, this game had zero bite to it. The game is pleasant enough but, if what the developers were going for was something acurate to the Sierra experience, they would have worked in numerous funny ways to get Finn killed for just basic curiosity. However as a fairly chill point-and-click, I enjoyed it well enough. I suppose I should count my blessings when a game like this even gets made as point-and click adventures seem to be a dying art. Thank you, Infamous Quest.

The graphics are adorable as is the music. I really enjoyed the voice acting, too, and the game comes with a good spike of humor. Overall this really threw me back to old Sierra games. The game is not excessively long and the puzzles aren't terribly hard. I think I finished it in three evenings.
