Figures move in the adorably dorky manner of Asian shadow puppet theater and it’s a perfect fit. Unlike the more realistic looking Daedalic adventures such as A New Beginning or The Dark Eye series which look great on screenshots but awkwardly stiff in motion, Fran Bow’s style of animation is in perfect harmony with the illustrative children’s book artwork. Lots of imaginative details and careful worldbuilding on par with what you can find in a Benoît Sokal game. Do yourself a favor and don’t rush things because the scenery is lovely, it’s like being abducted into a children’s book and you’ll want to savour every moment of that. So in total, you can expect a playtime of around 8 hours if you progress fluently, don’t get stuck anywhere and aren’t rushing through the scenery like a madman. That’s a large area for point & click adventures, even if the hotspots are limited. There are 5 chapters, each taking around 1.5 hours except for chapter 3 which is longer and involves a lot of walking around an area of about 18 screens. That’s really all you need to know so you can go and buy the game right now if you like the screenshots, enjoyed the free demo and have a remote interest in point & click adventures with imaginative writing and art.ĭepending on how long it takes for you to figure out the puzzles, you could get through this game in anywhere between 7 to 12 hours. Before going into any more detail, yes the game has enough length and quality to be worth a full price purchase at $15. There was only one question: Would the game be long enough to warrant a full price purchase or not? I like supporting indie developers who deserve it but I’m not the Salvation Army so price/value considerations are a factor. For those who have finished the game already, what are your thoughts and impressions? The review section on the store page is limited to only 2000 characters and doesn't allow for interaction so if you have a longer review, feel free to share it here.Īfter playing the demo a couple months ago, it became obvious to me that this would be an awesome game and that I would have to get it. ![]()
