Throws error codes and crashes a lot making the game impossible to play. Would not recommend.10 found this helpful
This game is 100% not worth 10 dollars. 2.99 would be acceptable.7 found this helpful
Fun game to play. Takes 2-3 hours to finish, no saving games, so this is an entertainment for one evening. Huge pixels, audio in early-90s point-and-click games style. Mini-games can be frustrating, but they pose a challange. The adventure game part is pretty straightforward, nothing silly. Could be a bit longer though.6 found this helpful
Nostalgia is very strong, with this one. If you remember and liked LucasArts point and click games, this one is for you (especially if you spent your childhood in eastern europe). Nice plot, couple of minigames inside, and graphics...like in early 90s.2 found this helpful
I barely struggled through 5 minutes, because it got me just 3 minutes to understand that this game is a scam. Or maybe just a very poor job riddled with issues. I would understand if it was some open-source project to contribute to, but this is a legit paid game! 1. The progress doesn't save. It always starts in the very beginning. 2. The mouse controls are jerky. 3. I can confirm that the text is very poorly translated into English, as mentioned by another reviewer. 4. All the sounds appear to be the game author murmuring something in a poor quality microphone. 5. It is not possible to make the text scroll faster and not have it skipped entirely. 6. The text font is out of place. It should have been pixelated, like the whole game. There might be more issues with this game, but I'm getting a refund and not going to go through all of it to find more, there are better games to play and things to do. You'll have a better time playing a random point-and-click adventure from the 90-s, most of them are abandonware, released for free or are very cheap nowadays and run even on modern hardware on DOSBox if you don't have a DOS-compatible PC.
Game is a tribute to the old school point and click adventure games. It is short and sweet. There are few things that annoyed me like lack of different colors on subtiltes or one of the minigames but overall I had a fun experience. If U have few free quids/bucks/zloty check this out. You can see that developer has love for OG adventures. Can't wait for second part.
