Description
In Andergast, whose inhabitants are considered to be notoriously superstitious, King Efferdan awaits a state visit from high-ranking dignitaries. For centuries the kingdom has been at odds with neighboring Nostria, but now first steps are being undertaken toward a lasting peace. But a plague of crows troubles the king, for the birds are acting with unusual aggressiveness, even attacking humans. Moreover, there are those among the citizens of Andergast who swear that the crows are bringing them dark nightmares. As the belligerent creatures infiltrate even the castle itself, the king seeks a skilled bird catcher - an opportunity for young Geron to prove that the reputation for ill luck that has followed him since childhood is undeserved. Following an audience with the king, the prestigious task is assigned to him. However, not only does his task prove unexpectedly difficult, but it also turns out to be the first step of the greatest adventure of his life, which will lead him to the borders of the charted lands of Aventuria and beyond.

With a history of more than 25 years, The Dark Eye is one of Europe's best-known role-playing brands. In addition to the popular pen & paper adventures, TDE has also inspired a series of successful computer games. The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav takes you deep into the world of Aventuria, where you’ll take on the role of young Geron and get caught up in a mysterious plot that threatens to wipe out the kingdom of Andergast, a back-water realm in the northwest of Aventuria.

  • Experience the world of The Dark Eye as a classic point-and-click adventure!
  • A breathtaking art style that shows every nuance of Aventuria.
  • Solve a variety of side quests each with different paths towards a solution.

Good game with some bearable downsides

Good artwork and story, but subpar animation, and puzzles often don't make much sense.

Moderately positively surprised

I didn't think I'd like it after watching the terrible trailer, which made it seem like something geared especially for teenagers into fantasy (and I'm neither). But then I got it anyway in a bundle. It turned out to be fun and charming actually. It draws heavy inspiration from the LucasArts era of adventure games. I didn't love some of the later parts of the game and thought some of the puzzles didn't make sense at all, but was generally pleased and entertained. Narratively and functionally it's very similar to Deponia (developed by the same company), except in a different setting, and with less humor. I find aspects of Romulus negative review (female character analysis) to be ridiculously true of both these games, but just because I can analyze something and find stereotypes and tropes doesn't mean I won't like the game as a whole. I guess I'm a sucker ;) At least a couple of the character dialogues also conditionally unlocked more dialogues options, meaning you could ask something that may unlock a new question, but it doesn't. So you have to go somewhere and do something else, and then ask the same question, get the same answer and only then you'd have a new question available. I don't think this is acceptable and factoring in some other completely nonsensical puzzles (not kidding) it encourages you to cheat instead of trying to solve things yourself if you get stuck. I wouldn't recommend this as someone's first adventure game, but if you can't get enough of the genre I think you'll like it.

Ok adventure...

The background graphic is wonderful, puzzles are ok even if they rely too much on much pixel hunting. The worst part are the two whiny main characters.
