Blind Girl

In The Blind Girl (2019) you play as a tag team duo; The Blind Girl (2019) a cute girl with no eyes, and the spirit that lives in her shadow. The art style is very nice on the eyes, with hand drawn visuals to drive home the whole England fairy tale tone of the story. The music as well very well sound tracked, from what I gather atleast a portion of it is from royalty free websites, but holy moly, holy cow, holy toledo they made some good choices. There's not a single bad song in the game. Gameplay wise? It's good, it's decent, it's an esoteric puzzle VN, you move the cursor with your arrow keys, and hit enter to confirm it has a 90's point and click vibe around it. Some of the action scenes were technically difficult and I had made LIBERAL use of the save button. It seems a lot of the negative reviews for the game are from not knowing YOU CAN SAVE AT ANY TIME WITH THE 'F' KEY. Maybe I just accidentally discovered it, but I was saving frequently as soon as I left home. I had some major roadblocks I hit throughout runtime, I replayed the final boss for an hour and a half and kept dying, because [spoiler] I hadn't realized I was supposed to defend myself in court, I had just stayed …

Rough but cute art style and presentation, intriguing story but all in all not worth the tedious and frustrating puzzles and mini-games with instant game overs. This would have worked way better as a visual novel.

Seriously, screw this crappy game. Horrible controls, you have to navigate a tedious forest maze. But what genuinely annoyed me was that they could really do with a few more savepoints. [spoiler] I was at the fairy challenges. I got through the first two and then I reached the Gryphon and accidentally tapped my keyboard when its eyes were open. Game over, I have to start at the first fairy challenge again and renavigate through a bunch of cut and paste forest screens to redo the first two crappy challenges. I might have made another attempt to get the Gryphon feather, IF THE STUPID GAME HAD SAVED AT THE 3RD CHALLENGE. [/spoiler] Now i just feel like I wasted my time. I want the hour I spent on this game back.

10/10 Cant make hot chocolate from the start of the game. I tried after 45minutes, the commands are confusing. Enjoy.
