About Albert and Otto
✦ AI summary
Guide Albert and his magical bunny Otto through a haunted 1939 Germany, solving creative two-character puzzles while uncovering the mysterious story of a girl with bunny ears through scattered drawings and clues. This atmospheric puzzle-adventure uniquely combines cooperative mechanics—where Otto's special abilities unlock new powers like levitation and electrical control—with a dark, non-linear narrative that spans three episodes and refuses to spell out its historical inspiration.
In this first installment “The Adventure Begins” the player is thrown headfirst into a haunting world set in 1939 Germany in search of a mysterious girl with bunny ears.
Clues as to who she is and what happened to her are scattered throughout the game in the form of drawings left in post boxes and shards that the player must piece together.

However the player is not alone on this adventure, help comes in the form of the girl’s magical bunny, Otto.
The player must use both Albert and Otto in creative ways to traverse a haunting world. At the beginning of the story, Albert can shoot and jump, while Otto can fit through tight gaps and hold down power switches. But together, they unlock new skills such as a double jump, levitation, control of electrical currents, and more as the story unfolds.

This isn't a bad game. I wish it had been patched to fix a few bugs and one of the achievements is a little messed up through a bug but this is a pretty decent game overall.

The checkpoint system and character control sucks. At the end, after the second boss, the game leaves you stuck at the death count screen. There is no chapter selection, so you cannot replay specific parts of the game; therefore, you either play the last part of the game endlessly, or you quit and start over from new game.
I completed the game and, while I enjoyed it to a point, sadly I can't recommend it. The thing is, is heavily inspired by Limbo and does have some interesting physics and puzzle resolution ideas. But it's not nearly as well executed and well done as Limbo is. The game is short, but it took me longer than expected because there were a couple of specific parts that were so frustrating to get right. It's not only the difficulty, the game is just not polished and it glitches quite a lot. We don't know the story, but that's quite normal supposedly being a first part of four... Which at this point I think we are not getting. Too many years have passed and I don't think the devs said anything. And, well, I do have to mention one last thing that I honestly hated: this game has animal abuse in it. Yes, is not anything explicit as you can already guess because of it's graphics, but it still is. The puzzles solved by having to abuse a poor sheep certainly could have been replaced with a different thing and I would have worked anyway. Maybe if it didn't have that I would have even given a recommended review, tbh. There is no need to include that kind of thing in such a poor taste even if th…
