Falls way short of expectation.

Giving it two stars is me being generous. Sadly I'm scraping the barrel to find a compliment but i'll try. The only thing I can give this game kudos for is it's graphics and art style which is beautiful. As a true and seasoned point and click fan, I genuinely struggle to find anything else to praise. The game itself is clunky, the dialogue is woeful and without life, the characters have no character, and most importantly the puzzles are absolutely senseless. Where you find items in the world and how they interact makes absolutely no sense making it painful and not fun to play. For anyone considering playing this game, before you reach into your wallet I'd urge you to download and play the free demo first. If you can somehow stomach that then perhaps look at the full game thereafter.

Actually very nice classic adventure

It's a very atmospheric, beautifully animated, well crafted classic adventure game. On the down side no surprises: dialog to read/listen through without real options and picking up items, combining them in the inventory or current room. No new ideas added to the genre. As I have played a lot of point and click adventure, I found the puzzle very ok - rather easy than hard, but most of all not ridiculous as in so many other games. It's also relatively short: after 3 hour the credits where rolling. But that's ok for the given price (bought for 20 Eu).

nice wholesome game

I just finished the game, after 5-6 hrs. So it's not a particularly lengthy game, but what is there I really enjoyed. The first thing that struck me was the details in the environments, they put a lot of effort in making each scenery look great. Visually the game looks really nice as a whole. The voice-acting was good 90% of the time, it suited the game, a childhood adventure story. Sometimes the dialogue felt a bit stiff and unnatural, probably due to the language translation. The puzzles were on the low-end medium difficulty. To me they were very intuitive, which is a huge positive, I didn't have to do any obscure solution or trial-and-error. I thought they were very well designed. The music was nice and suited the game, it felt very European if that means anything to you. The music was also memorable, it contributed to giving the game a sense of personality or identity. A big credit to the game is that I did not expect to sit 2-3 hours finishing up the last part of the game. The smooth progression of the puzzles made it rather addictive to see what you should do next, the satisfaction of completing a puzzle. I've payed so many adventure games that demand obscure solutions that get you stuck and disrupts the flow of the game. This game is not like that. I'm looking forwards to what this studio does next.

Wonderful story

I loved this game! I've done a playthrough https://youtu.be/v1gjpcuO3dI if anyone would like to see. I have played point and click adventure games ever since I was a little girl, and having recently completed Broken Sword, this was a lovely and modern game to sink my teeth into. The puzzles were of good difficulty, nothing too hard and not too easy. Easier than Broken Sword, but that's not a bad thing! Wonderful story, graphics, and voice acting. A pleasant and enjoyable experience.

In the end rather mediocre adventure

Honestly there is not that much to say on top of the other reviews. Or overall at that matter. Dialogues felt at times all over the place, very unemotional and monotonic. Story itself is nothing too spectacular, but has at least that goal all the way through as a reason to complete it. There are puzzles and item combinations, but some of them are rather.. illogical. There are not that many items so you will figure them out rather quickly, but may still be left wondering why developer did end up with such solutions. Overall it is nothing too miraculous, you will get one evening spent with this game. It is not something you would ever come back to though.
