Forgotten Sound 1: Revelation

[b] Forgotten Sound 1: Revelation [/b] is a point&click adventure about a prince going on the dangerous journey to save his father. I know very little about [u] One Thousand and One Nights[/u] other than few mainstream adaptations.The game is fully voice acted but I only speak English so I had to read the subtitles. Unfortunately, Forgotten Sound is not a very good adventure game due to numerous mechanical and visual issues. Unless you are a diehard fan of the genre I would not recommend it without some significant updates. This game is notorious for freezing glitches and slowdowns which could happen just about anywhere. I had to reload the save file 3 times in 2 hours. Accordingly, I decided to save my progress every 5 minutes and that can be very distracting. Despite all of that I still beat the game in 90 minutes which is not "3 hours". If it worked as a game like this should it would be 1-hour experience. Some of the adventure games in this price range are 4-5 times as long. The interface was not great either. I had all kinds of problems with character not responding to commands or click detection. I did not enjoy the puzzle gameplay at all. The riddles were either too easy…

Forgotten Sound 1: Revelation is a construction kit game. The "developer" used the craptastic, deprecated WinterMute point and click video game construction kit, using premade level design tools so they could pretend they're an actual game developer. In fairness they did add their own art assets and voice acting (which is really bad and not in English). This point and click adventure, made by filling out forms and stuff in the WinterMute construction kit, has an Arabian Nights kind of theme, but ultimately if you do try to play this you'll find very poorly done point and click puzzles and incredibly frustrating bugs. The game crashed immediately when I clicked on "Help"... it's just an unpolished disaster. A strong argument can be made that construction kits like WinterMute should never be used to make games for profit, as the "developer", RSK Entertainment Permanent Way has done here. These construction kits are intended to teach people some of the basic principles of game development, and to make small demos to pass around with friends. They're not intended to replace to actual work of real, professional game developers. So it's inappropriate when amateurs try to use t…
