i've been looking for point and click games to play and this one is just meh. there's no way to see what you actually have to do, every new area is a new chapter and its just boring really. it had potential to be fun but it falls short on actual gameplay3 found this helpful
While playing episode 1 I did not feel I'd recommend it. The store-page calls it a "classic point and click adventure game" but it so easy that a puzzle component is more or less absent. Not very classic. I then however played episode 2 (as realistically most anyone would) and that [i]is[/i] in fact a bona fide classic point and click adventure game. With both episodes taken together genre-fans will find quite enough to like here.1 found this helpful
The animation and voice acting were great, which was promising, but as a fan of point-and-click games, the puzzles were too straightforward for my liking. This was more of a short, click-through storyline really, which is fine, but not engaging enough as a game to want to play on to the next episode. Hard to give it a thumbs down though with animation this cute!1 found this helpful
I am giving this a positive review, but the game was not really for me. The voice acting was great, and there were numerous scenes to interact with. The puzzles were a bit too easy for someone who might regularly do point and click adventures. I was not very engaged in the story. However, for a younger or inexperienced audience, this game would be really good to start on.1 found this helpful
A great first installment that i've been through a few times now. I'm not usually a fan of episodic games like this because it typically feels like "We've done this, we need money, what do we do?" and it definitely comes across it here as well because whilst the game on its own was a fun old jaunt, it ended and left room for Episode 2 (and presumably 3 or 4) with a sense of "TO BE CONTINUED"
It's a short game and you need to get the second episode to finish the full adventure but I loved it. The art style and the humour ("My grandfather had an enormous clock" lol) are great. The puzzles were very easy and it's a short game which is honestly perfect if you want an afternoon that will relax you but won't suck you into something that will make you feel like you're ruining your life.
