This is not worth your time
I am about two hours in. There is so much wrong with this game. Do not bother. As usual for GOG reviews, the top 5-star reviews are clearly paid for, or done by bots, not genuine human beings' opinions. For one, I keep forgetting what the game is called. Black Geyser: -- I had to stop writing this review to go check what the subtitle was. Couriers of Darkness. There are no hooks in that name. The art of the guy with his two faces does not hook, or link, or click, with the name Black Geyser nor the name Couriers of Darkness. Neither did anything I saw in the first two hours of the game. I was interested in this game a few weeks ago but struggled to find it because I could not remember its name. I'll probably forget it again after writing this review. It's clunky. A game inspired by the classics from the 90s and early 00s should not play as bad as they did. But this is that bad, or worse. The buttons are tiny, the icons are not descriptive. It's not clear which tab is open on your character screen. Feedback comes in slowly. Games today need to be better than games from 20 years ago, not worse. There should be an inventory sort option for price:value ratio. That should be mandatory for these sorts of games. Tutorials appear in the top right of the screen, instead of the top left, where they should be. We read left-to-right, top-to-bottom. If something new appears on screen you want us to look at, like a tutorial box, place it in the top-left. Furthermore, tutorial icons use the same color scheme as the rest of the game, so they blend in with all the other brown and off-yellow colors on screen. They don't stand out. The voice acting is painfully bad. The voice actors do not speak like English speakers speak. It's as if they got people who do not speak English to voice these lines. Their intonation is all over the place. I don't mean accents. I mean the pitch and volume of their voices flails wildly about with each line. Why bother having voice acting then?
