Quaint (at times charming) adventure
Chains is a point-n-click adventure game that in many ways is quite unremarkable. The gameplay isn't particularly polished. The puzzles aren't particularly satisfying. The voice acting isn't particularly engaging. etc. etc. Yet there's an enjoyable game under all this if, like me, you can get behind the main characters. Geron is a very reluctant hero, even being a bit of a doomer, but I think that serves to make the story a bit more grounded, even in the fantasy setting of The Dark Eye. Geron's character is believable given his history even if it makes the first act of the game a bit insufferable due to his bad relationship with the rest of the town. Things pick up after his chance encounter with Nuri, a reclusive fairy, and the rest of the plot is essentially driven by the collision of their budding relationship and the dark prophecy that hangs over Geron. The story of Chains is very personal in scope - while there are larger ramifications to the world in the story, they're more a side-effect of events rather than the main driving force of the story. I'm normally a sucker for grand fantasy epics, but I found this small-scale tale strangely satisfying for the most part. It's no masterpiece, but if you like story-driven fantasy adventures, it's worth a look. If you find youself liking it, be sure to check out the (slightly superior in pretty much every way) sequel, Memoria.
