The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav

Surprisingly a good old game with a nice story!

maybe for some people the genre is not so good but i loved it

great,nice gamepaly.never played a game like this,great experience/

I thought this was a really interesting original world. Great voice acting, music and visuals. Some of the puzzles were quite challenging for me. I had lookup some of them. I think the worldbuilding and storytelling here is exceptional. Would love to see more games in this world and characters.

The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav (2012) is a typical "point and click" adventure. Game takes place in a D&D type setting with all the associated sights and wonders. What makes this game slightly different is that you also get to use 2 spells that either fix or break certain inanimate objects which add to puzzle elements. You are tasked to save the girl, your town and consequently the realm from a megalomaniac intent on securing his immortality by governing the dream world. The ending is bittersweet. Based on the completion rate on GOG, it seems that not many finished the game. Puzzles were generally fair, however some were illogical, unless perhaps you were able to channel the writer(s). One puzzle stumped me near the end pertaining to the wheel of the gods and a plaque with supposedly 4 numbers. As if by design, one number looked more like a letter which was obviously meant to throw you off. I had to look up the solution for that one. There remains some glitches but none were game breaking. You can save anywhere. Since a potato can run the game, I downloaded the DRM free game from GOG and copied the game folder onto my laptop. I was able to play from the comfort of the couch. Game took ~5 hours to complete over the course of several days.
