Anna's Quest

nice

Old feeling point and click adventure, fairly classic in its approach, much in line with what i know Daedalic usually delivers. The world and art direction are well done, with a colorful and cute style that contrasts nicely with its darker fairy tale atmosphere, featuring witches, magicians, and creatures. Voice acting is solid and helps with immersion, while the soundtrack is more subtle and not particularly memorable. Gameplay follows the usual formula: exploration, item combinations, and puzzle solving through scripted interactions that work only after some actiiosn was done in the right order. Most of the time, it’s accessible and reasonably logical, but a few puzzles feel unclear or rely too much on trial and error, which can lead to unnecessary frustration. Overall, it’s a decent but quite conventional experience that lacks originality. The setting and story didn’t fully click with me, but it should still appeal to fans of the genre.

Hmm

yuh

I'm not sure what to say about this game. It's a nice P&C, easy enough, with a storyline. I'm very unsatisfied with the story itself, because [spoiler]in the end the antagonist is a woman that was cast away for something she didn't do, but that her friend did in order to help her get some love by her mother. And sure she grew resentful and she had the wrong target all this time, but god, what even is the reason why they made her sympathetic. There's no closure, except, if you're angry at injustice then it will consume you and you will die.[/spoiler] Idk man. I wish steam allowed "mixed" reviews.

Enjoyed playing this one! The art is pretty basic, but gives it a whimsical fairytale feel. I liked how it weaves in classic fairytales (Hansel & Gretel, Cinderella, Rapunzel, Snow White, The Wizard of Oz) and Norse mythology (the Wyrd & Norns), while subverting familiar stories & tropes. The story gets dark at times balanced by dark humour. Winfriede, the Wicked Witch of the West, is well.. wicked, but also a surprisingly tragic character, making her fate fitting but poignant & pitiful. The royal family are mostly haughty, classist jerks, except for Queen Jannike and a certain Prince. The voiceacting was good and the characters had some personality. My favourite was the posh, chivalric fox, Raynard The puzzles were mostly fun, though a few relied on childish game logic. Overall, a charming & quirky point & click adventure with a nice mix of storybook atmosphere, fairytale elements, mythology and dark humour.
