unfinished game. Buggy and the textures are wrong. Also, the last puzzle of the game is unfinishable.
A decent classic point & click adventure game
good game
Generally, the game is fun and has nice visual scenes. It works fine on Windows 11.
But I can't recommend it as many hotspots for interacting with objects or changing scene are very hard to spot and hit, this makes the game very frustrating.
Moving from one place/scene to another was, oftentimes, rather hard to do because of the pixel hunting and the cursor not always changing to indicate when you can exit a scene or nor. I actually even missed 2 scenes altogether due to this.
There is also the ridiculous amount of back and forth walking from one scene to another in the game as well, with some being just scenery with nothing to really interact with (parts of the mushroom forest and the bridges for example). This is fine to expand the world and give us a scope of how large it is, but i'd argue that after the first time, it just becomes annoying and does not really add anything to the world-building itself.
At the end of the game you're left with a lot of items still in your inventory as well. Some, such as the passes, just take up space needlessly as you never have to click on them even once during the entire game... I also found it rather odd how you had to use the computer on collected documents to even see what was written on them most of the time, doing this when the character is told they need to solve an equation makes sense as the computer would be quicker at such a task, but for just reading a short message? I guess this was done largely because the laptop is where all the documents are stored, but it would have been better to just add the documents automatically to the laptop instead of having the player need to interact with them in the inventory first, it would have saved around 2 clicks per document.
The story, honestly, was rather mediocre. The premise is the only interesting part of it. I'd say there are only around 3 intelligent characters in the entire game. The villain, the giantess healer and Adam. Aside from Adam all the characters are very forgettable, but the only reason Adam himself is not as forgettable is because of how often you interact with him. All of the characters are mediocre, just as the story itself.
Overall, I would not recommend this game to others, as I sis not enjoy playing it myself, but, at the same time, from what I understood, a lot of parts were either cut out entirely or altered with regards to the steam version of the game, so maybe the original version of it is better.
The reason I decided to buy this game is because I remember playing a Demo version of it when I was a lot younger and enjoying it a lot. Sadly, I regret buying it.
This was an absolute joy, an unexpected gem in the rough. Certainly has a Longest Journey vibe and the story was interesting enough to stick it through, with some tricky minigame puzzles.
The only issues worth mentioning are 4 hotspots dont highlight, 1 audio puzzle isn't in the game despite the dialogue saying you have to do it. no log on what your tasks are, but thats minor since you can ask NPCs questions again if needed.
The issues aside the game is fantastic retro feeling experience, and one I wish I'd found years ago so chill music and so pretty for the resolution.
