very tidy and timely. a joy to play.1 found this helpful
Very enjoyable but very short. I loved the art and setting.1 found this helpful
A short story type point and click game, would recommend if you want a quick game that you can easily get 100% achievments for.
The game is enjoiable, the settings and story interesting, but that's about it. I'm not giving lightly this bad review but the whole game feels like a demo, when things starts to get interesting, it is suddently over. About the puzzles, in the beginning they are pretty mechanical but one expects this sorts of games to increase in difficulty. Well that's not the case. It's just the same brainless object hunt till the end. There are multiple endings but the tedius puzzles make it hard to wanting to start over. Conversations options also sounds the same so I wasn't really sure what fate I was choosing. It could have been a really interesting concept, too bad. Just buy on heavy sale if you really want it.
The Plague Doctor Of Wippra's morbid historical setting really makes the game stand out among the many point-and-click adventures that have been made in recent years.
6.5/10 short story, not bad.
