About Eselmir and the five magical gifts
Eselmir and the five magical gifts is a 2D point and click adventure game inspired by the old classics of the genre. It tells the story of Eselmir and his journey to find the five magical lost gifts of King Theoson, leading the player to explore an imaginary world studied in every detail. An atypical and elegant fantasy made up of stories within the story, one enclosed in the other.
In a vast fantasy world ruled by powerful deities and ancient spells, where people build flourishing cities, great monuments thrive and nature is inhabited by fairies and mysterious creatures, the extraordinary story of Eselmir takes place. Eselmir, a priest devoted to the Goddess of Time, belongs to the ancient Pirin race, demigod descendants of a fairy and a mortal who live on the highest mountains in the east. One night, Eselmir receives a mission from his Goddess that could change the fate of many: to find the five lost gifts of King Theoson, progenitor of the Pirin civilization, who upon his death was buried together with his treasures in a secret place whose grave was never found again.
The concept of the game was inspired and based on texts and drawings of a young talented Swiss writer, Sebastiano B. Brocchi who wrote a new elegant fantasy saga called "Pirin." The game is set in his own created universe. The hand made drawings are easily recognizable with a strong personality, are of the same style used to illustrate the book made by Brocchi itself.

This is a good point and click game, like an old quests from Daedalic. I remember got it long ago on some deep sale and compare to time what i spend playing this was a steal. Here you will get good story, nice music and pretty pictures, some puzzles and a lot of reading, but you don't need combine items in inventory or try all combinations on hot spots as items will use automaticly in correct place when you find them, thats why maybe you can finish this game without walkthrough. I can give it 8/10 stars, so if you like this genre you should try Eselmir and the five magical gifts.4 found this helpful
Solid story and lore, the art is quite beautiful and detailed, and the characters/peoples kept my attention. It wasn't as smooth a point and click game as I like, movement was some annoying when you kept having to revisit places for clues, but any game that goes 5 hours without my stopping on my 1st play through? I really like it overall. Great genre game, glad I found it.4 found this helpful
Only reason somebody would like this is if they really dig this story/world or the book that it is based on. This is basically amateurish fan fiction. I couldn't really get into it. Also I did not detect a hint of humor in this game, which if fairly common in point and click adventures. So the book author did the story, dialogues and drawings for this game. Not my Cup of tea. there are literally hundreds of better point and click adventure games to play.2 found this helpful
This point-and-click adventure is great for those looking for a slower game with an in-depth story. The game was inspired by a series of books, giving it deeper worldbuilding and a good narrative. Most of the puzzles are good. There are a few strange ones, but hey, there's a walkthrough if you get stuck.1 found this helpful
great story
One huge flaw immediately jumps to your face: illegibility, Texts use a strenuous typeface, some kind of Blackletter. Texts are displayed directly over background, without speech balloons or banderoles. Often with minimal contrast. And it's a very talkative title. A second huge flaw soon jumps to your leg and starts humping it: emptiness. Long, long, long, long, long rooms full of nothing to walk through. Stacked on top of each other, along with lifeless transitional staircases. That's not a point n' click any more. That's a bloody walking simulator. The naive, almost tacky art is attractive; it titillates my curiosity. The interface is classically good, with all the features I would expect. Too bad the game got crippled twice.
