Werther Quest

An awesome deal for its price. First of all, it has a very interesting concept. The characters are cute, background graphics are breathtaking, the tutorial is simple and nice, the puzzles are interesting and story-line is quite tear-jerking, I had an enjoyable fun time through the entire game. The voice acting is quite good, only a few lines had unnatural voice acting. The only issue that I found might be hard to adapt to for some players, unbindable keys. With regards to it, I've contacted the developer with regards to it, so it might have a bindable key option in the near future. I would recommend this game to players who wants to have a stressless fun time while enjoying the beautiful graphics and scenery. I do believe this game will appeal more to people with patience. *Spoiler : 2 endings*

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LubBMTN9ha8 For all intents and purposes, this is a Point and click game ported to PC from mobile. At the time of recording/playing this was in Early access so there is still a chance to massivly improve the game before release. The pain points I had were mainly with the controls as they did feel quite a bit clunky and no clear input. The voice acting wasnt super amazing, as there are some lines that dont really make a sentence or dont even match up with the subtittles. Overall, alot of work left to be done, but promising. This could be a really good PC port as long as alot of care and hard work come into fixing up the controls =)

Short: A very beautiful game the artwork comes across very well in building a story book feel. The puzzles can be a little unintuitive but not bad for this genre of game. Game I was considering for times I have to look after children, as the puzzles difficulty level I felt would be perfect for them but the voice acting is so bad it will not appeal to adults as I found myself being pulled away from my fantasy through laughing at the voice lines. But this game is avoidable in its current state, so little effort has been put into the port to the PC platform and how a keyboard and mouse user will play the game has little to no thought put into it. No need for early access as the game is available on mobile platforms already (they should have an income), this work should have been done before the PC release. Video: https://youtu.be/YYOpa1Wr8yw

Disclaimer: the devs gave me the key for free after I reported a few bugs from the demo build. I'm writing this review freely and sincerely, I wasn't bribed :) This is a temporary review since some problems have been reported and are waiting for a fix, and since I didn't finish the game yet. However, the game in its current state and in my current experience is already an enjoyable experience for casual gamers / puzzle lovers. The art of the game catched my eyes at first, maybe because it reminds me the old "Love is all" video from the 70's. It's a mix of puzzle solving, and some action mostly based on observation on where and when to move. It's a tablet game in the design, but I didn't encounter any control related game-breaking problem for now with mouse and keyboard. Except one detail, but devs have confirmed that it will be dealt with in the following weeks: currently, there's no mapping option, so people not using QWERTY keyboards may feel not comfortable (I'm using AZERTY). French translation of the ingame texts is quite good, there are a few typos in the menus but that will get fixed too. I want to mention the excellent comunication from the studio: they are easily reac…

Beautiful graphics but incredibly strange mobile port with terrible voice acting.
