A Quirky Adventure with Room for Improvement

Game Name: Edna & Harvey: The Breakout
Rating: 6/10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐☆☆☆☆

Review
🚀 How I Felt
Edna & Harvey: The Breakout left me with mixed feelings. I appreciate the quirky humor and the unusual premise, but I couldn't fully connect with the experience. The game’s dark comedy and strange characters made for an interesting start, but as I continued, I found myself more frustrated by the repetitive nature of some puzzles and the lack of direction at times. While I enjoyed the oddball world, it didn’t always manage to keep me hooked for long stretches.

🎮 Gameplay
The gameplay follows the traditional point-and-click formula, which worked in some instances, but I often found myself getting stuck on puzzles that felt overly convoluted or not intuitive. The lack of hints or clearer objectives added to my frustration, and there were moments when I felt lost, not knowing where to go next. While the puzzles are challenging, they sometimes veer into being a bit too obscure. The hand-drawn art style is charming, and the character design is unique, but it wasn't enough to completely make up for the gameplay issues.

💥 Conclusion
Edna & Harvey: The Breakout is a game with a lot of quirky charm and potential but also some significant flaws that hinder the overall experience. The humor and art style are enjoyable, but the repetitive gameplay, frustrating puzzles, and lack of direction can make it hard to stay engaged for long periods. If you’re a fan of point-and-click games and don’t mind a bit of a challenge, it may still be worth checking out, but it’s not without its issues.

Final Rating: 6/10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐☆☆☆☆

Edna & Harvey: The Breakout

This is a standard point and click game. It's older, so it has some issues, but the gameplay itself is pretty solid. My not recommended is primarily because I don't like the characters and I don't feel the need to keep playing. I actually resorted to googling it to see if I was right about what I thought was going to go down and...yep. I'd rather not spend my time getting to that point.

weird and fun... puzzles aren't impossible and mostly logical. The pedestal seems a touch buggy but I got past it.

Had fun with this one. good voice acting, somewhat challenging puzzles. surprised me when the endings are revealed. great for a cheap price

funny and dark but very fun to play.

Edna & Harvey: The Breakout plunges you into the eccentric world of Edna, a young woman who wakes up in a padded cell with no memory, alongside her chatty stuffed bunny, Harvey. This point-and-click adventure is brimming with humor as Edna devises an elaborate plan to escape the asylum.

The game doesn’t shy away from the realities of mental health facilities, presenting a quirky cast with various conditions. But it’s the humor that stands out—balancing absurdity and slapstick without trivializing the seriousness of mental illness. These eccentric characters are still portrayed as real people facing challenges.

For fans of the original, the Anniversary Edition offers refreshed visuals, with sharper, more vibrant hand-drawn environments and character sprites that breathe new life into this quirky world. Achievement hunters will find a fun list to chase, from escaping the asylum to more offbeat tasks like putting ketchup in inappropriate places.

This adventure is a wild, thought-provoking ride, filled with memorable characters, clever puzzles, and a generous dose of dark humor. While I enjoyed the Deponia series, Edna & Harvey resonated with me more—it’s grounded yet bizarre, making Edna’s journey deeply engaging. Even if the art style might remind you of a patient’s doodles, the game proves that laughter really is the best medicine, with a talking bunny as a close second.

Really enjoyed this one - a bunch of hidden details and easter eggs to discover.
Sometimes kinda hard to realise what to do, but maybe that's because of me beeing so new to this genre of games.
Fortunately my best friend backseated for my entire playthrough.
So I was never stuck for too long if I didn't know what to do, but also found out a bunch of things on my own.
