A decidely excellent fairy tale
To be certain, there are some puzzles that are a bit hare pulling. Bear with it, it tells a beatiful story and the time is well spent. It succeeds where many have fallen short in delivering a story in the grand old tradition that usually starts with once upon a time. Cheers.

Extremely Annoying
This game is cluttered with repeated lines and clunky animations that have too much pre/post time. Voice lines that have too much pre/post time, that are usually repeated, which is what you do throughout a point and click. Constantly trying combinations or talking to people. The sense of humor in this game ends up being just another frustration. Talk to this one mouse, you will be spam clicking to skip chat for the next 15 seconds, because you've already heard his dumb dialogue several times. I'm giving up now because I'm trying to deliver to 'senor molena', and I have no idea who that is. I've searched the internet and nothing points to who it is. But I'm constantly met with revisiting characters to see if I missed something, only to get all this clunk piled on top. There's also this annoying as hell leprechaun, and when you walk into a zone he appears, says something not funny, takes a while, and prances off to another 'tile'. And then when you get to whatever tile he goes to, he does it again. Just dumbfounded how this game is so badly presented. Go with Chains of Satinav or Memoria. Those are to the point, a bit annoying puzzles sometimes, but you can follow a guide if you need to streamline the process. Anna's Quest is good too, and has a lot better story than this cheesy rubbish.

Good game, but...
Beautifully drawn game, great story and nice soundtrack. The progression through is sometimes very tedious - there is no logic in what you need to do. I was stuck multiple times and had to google. Also the game feels very long for this kind of game. Also hearing the same lines over and over is annoying and also somehow the dialogue is very slow, there are unnecessary gaps. It is a shame that the gameplay puts this game down, otherwise it would be great.

Beautiful game
The game looks beautiful, has great soundtrack and nice story (I liked it's subtle pro ecology message which is mentioned by the way, not in your face). I really liked that many locations have 2 different versions: day and nighttime. Magic spells are nice addition to traditional puzzles, too. The optional quartets card game is really nice even for someone like me who just doesn't like playing cards. The one thing I don't dig is that some puzzles require more of a moon logic than common sense. And if you're achievement hunter, the amount of hidden things to collect (dew drops, stickers, cards) could be a bit tedious to complete.

PSA: There Are Achievements Now
I figured that I should lead with that given that, at the time of me writing this review, the storefront does not reflect the new reality. Honestly, the way that achievements on GOG Galaxy work it is as though they were made for this game. If you want the achievements and you already have them on a save file then you only need to boot up the game while having the GOG Galaxy client running in the background. Upon loading a save the game "gives" you the achievements. This means that you can play offline and only rely on the internet to get you 100% completion in an instant. A round of applause for Minotaurus0 for making this happen. In terms of achievements, the dewdrops one is probably my favourite and the best that I've come across to date since it is optional, is not required to understand the story but gives foreshadowing for those who bother with it. It is not an afterthought and it clearly shows. My second favourite is the story collecting. It adds life and the excitement of discovery to locations. The stories themselves come in the form of audio books, with artwork that is reminiscent of German fairytales, which could provide additional value to parents of young children who might be too young to play the game themselves yet. The game never forces you to sit through these tales, though. Collecting cards is fun but the deck feels underutilized. I approached it as a tool, much like the magical coin. I approached a disguised character thinking that a game of quartets was the way to start a conversation but while the character accepts and drops the disguise the game does not acknowledge this as Jerry looks surprised when the "real form" is revealed in the story. For my final thoughts, this title could be seen as a cozy game with creepy undertones but never to the point where it is unsuitable for younger audiences. It is fun for children and it has got some jokes for adults sprinkled in which makes this a timeless classic for those who enjoy foreshadowing.
