Beyond The Edge Of Owlsgard

I feel harsh doing this but i'm going to leave a negative review because I feel that giving it a positive one whilst acknowledging its problems is likely to become lost in the shuffle and I really want people to take notice of this. This. Is. A. Good. Game. ... Mostly. Graphics are Solid, Voice Acting is Solid. Mechanics are Solid. Puzzles are reasonably difficult without being stupidly difficult in places. So... what's the problem? Tone. Tone is the Problem. This game was intended to be silly and stupid like the Point 'n' Click Adventure Titles we all know and love, but as it tries to drive itself forward in the story it loses that tone and tries to become very serious and that tonal shift is out of left field, and unwelcome. Also: The Ending. I'm not the sort of person who's going to sit here and spoil an ending because at that point i'm putting people off pushing through to the end of a title and I hate that, but for me? That was awful. It was essentially "HERE'S SOME EXPOSITION!" what the heck happened? Did the dev get caught short on time? It was horribly rushed.

This game is awesome. Games basically always get ignored unless they have some crazy new unique idea, but this is just, like, a really fun adventure game! It has some interesting, like, themes in it. It has fun characters. It has a shocking amount of fully voiced dialogue for nonsensical SCUMM interactions. What's not to love, especially when it's often on sale for 90% off?

This is a nice game, with good pixel art, and interesting plot.

good
