This cutesy game has a fun way of switching between 2D and 3D realms (a.k.a. the book and the "real" world), and incorporating many different genres in its minigames. The story is intriguing, probably great for kids. Artwork collection was also a cool touch. It's always nice seeing creative freedom flowing from devs into their games. Hope we see more of this in the future.
The game delivers a solid cRPG experience (without combat) but instead of rolling dice one pulls Tarot cards. The story plunges you into a steampunky-fantasy Victorian London with plenty of introspection, interesting characters, and intrigue. Playing from 4 different viewpoints you can really get to know the characters, and their surroundings - especially when the paths inevitably converge. It has a bit of that Disco Elysium vibe, and thus one thing that would really raise it higher would be the addition of voiceover (as was true with DE).
I really enjoyed this game. All the cute critters & their interactions, fun platforming & webbing mechanics, pretty music, and a charming story. Even hunting for stickers was a nice feature. A shorter game that is very much worth playing through.
If you're searching for that good old point & click adventure games of the past feel - but with a modern spin - then you've found it. The game that this made me first think of would definitely be the Day of The Tentacle. Everything about this one screamed "quality". From the lovely visuals and music, to the great voice acting (giving already likeable characters that little *something more*), a solid story (sprinkled with a pleasing amount of humour and references), and of course interesting puzzles (NO moon logic!). I've had a lot of fun with this one and I can't recommend it enough. If this and Loco Motive are any indicator of future for P&C adventure games, then I'd be at peace knowing the genre is in good hands.
