An Adventure for Two Little Girls
I just finished playing this with my daughter. We both loved it. There are some matureish themes and a few scary moments but none that I worried about while she played with me. The story is colorful, often witty and surprisingly nuanced. The dialogue is very good and the voice acting is right on. Anna speaks in a monotone but it really suits her. The cartoon graphics fit the themes perfectly. The screenshots may make the style look impersonal but they prove to be very immersive when actually playing the game. But is this adventure game fair? In all but one case, yes. Nearly all of the puzzles are just challenging enough to be satisfying but rarely cause the dreaded adventure game stall. Thus, the story moves along. A few puzzles are more challenging but remain fair. We only found one puzzle to be completely unfair. Without giving the solution away I will just tell you to beware the Swan Prince. I wouldn't feel guilty using a walk through on that one. My only other complaint is that the game got a tad heavy handed toward those who are not vegetarians. As for the ending, I found it to be moving, fascinating and compelling and it revealed that there is a lot more character complexity in this game then I ever expected. Now that doesn't mean my daughter didn't cry at the ending. She did. But she cried because the game was over. She wanted more. I would give it four stars and she said give it a thousand so the average for us is, well, sorta five stars with maybe a few plusses.
