Face the prophecy and experience an adventure unlike any other!

Little pearl

This is a fairy tale. A beautiful one. Graphic was inspired by Monkey Island 3, and remade in this amazingly artistic style. This is a game good to see, good to just listening the music and wandering from one place to other. Combining items is art. For example, you have a compass. If you try to combine the compass with an item (let's say a pot), there is no 'That will not work' text, rather that you read: 'The compass points North, where noone hungry anymore.' Or something like this. Or you can here a little story, life event of our (anti)hero, something connected with the pot. This was a game I was amazed to play.

No more please. Rare letdown by Daedalic

One extra point for being a beautifully painted title in the point and click tradition that looks like someone put time and money in and because I hope Daedalic does more like Deponia or Edna and Harvey. Instantly, exceptionally and perpetually disliked the protagonist. A grown man lisping like a fake, depressing little boy. Clicked through his dialogue for almost all of it. Some puzzles were worst case contrivances. Straight time theft. I generally don't pick up a walkthrough ran into 3 cases that fairly demanded one because my time was more valuable than any sense of accomplishment available and by the end I just wanted to get it over with and see if there was some redemption in the story line. Meh. On first attempt I discarded the game icon into the archived folder for finished games after about 5 minutes. Ran low on titles and gave it a second chance months later mainly because of other Daed games. Having played through I would warn you not to pick this up unless all other options are exhausted. Night of the Rabbit or any other Daedalic p'n'c's for example. Unwritten Tales... Anything...

Fun Prime game

An enjoyable Point and Click with great art. Definitely avoided many tropes, though I found some of the puzzles/solutions nonsensical. The ending plot segment felt truncated. I understood what they were going for, but a few more paragraphs of dialog could have helped wrap the story. Received for free with Prime, so absolutely worth the price.

Excellent hand-made adventure

Sometimes you come across a game that, like every good indie title, is so good, you really feel the love its creators have put into it. This is such a game. It's beautiful, captivating and tells a wonderful story. But be advised that this is not humorous game but one with a deep thought provoking and very melancholy plot.
