beautiful cartoon, awful game
can save anytime over multiple slots, there's a sometimes misplaced hotspot indicator (only with space, has to be held) and a few puzzles are skippable. separate volumes, subtitles, and while I bounced off it many years ago, this time I finished it, though with extensive walkthrough checks to get it over with faster. the rest is even more disappointing. 1024x768 is the max resolution in the 'special edition' of a 2014 game. really slow movement (can leave locations instantly but can't double-click to move faster, cheat engine's speedhack feature to the rescue). illogical puzzles (or just plain tedious, like blowing out 15 million candles or navigating the village after). incredibly annoying characters and voiceovers (not just the protagonist). the mouse has to be held instead of a click to interact. using an item on something works with a click, why not everything else? and most of the game, including the inventory and many items, are so dark and brown that it's hard to make stuff out even with the hotspot indicator, even if it happens to indicate the correct location. so it basically fails at pointing and clicking and mostly on adventuring as well.
Is this helpful to you?
