Crowalt: Traces of the Lost Colony

Game Complexity: A puzzle / escape room like story rich adventure game with point and click gameplay. Game Difficulty: Since it has puzzle / escape room elements you need to figure out where and how to use the items you collect and to who you need to talk to continue the story. Achievements Complexity: You just need to follow the story. Achievements Difficulty: Same as game difficulty but there are 2 achievements on which if you make the wrong choice you will have to replay from the last save or the whole game, so use your save slots wisely.

a walking and backtracking simulator.

A backtracking hell

It's okay. Spoilers Ahead: "Not a witch" *Proceeds to to witchcraft after doing witchcraft to speak with the dead to do more witchcraft to undo a curse.* Someone else did the witchcraft. Interesting game.

before you go trough all the story, be sure after taking the ghost's journal, you go to tavern and talk w/ the lady, and dont say anything to the tribe chief about the voodoo curse (for all achievements in one run)

This is a short (~4 hours for me with 100% achievements, could be faster) old school point&click adventure game, set in Colonial America. Upsides: - The plot is OK with an interesting (if trope-ish) twist in the end; - the "artifacts" telling little historical tidbits are a nice touch; - several time-limited minigames (that can be re-tried, if failed) add some variety to the gameplay. Downsides: - it could have better graphics (especially for the main character's sprites); - there's TOO MUCH walking across scrolling locations with no points of interest in them. Even with "quick walking" triggered by double clicking it's very boring; - the setting itself is weird — the natives have a better grasp of technology than the colonists, characters often speak using historically-inappropriate lexicon, or otherwise out-of-character; Overall, I wouldn't recommend buying it at full price, but for a sale it's OK. Best wishes to the devs on their future projects.
