AGS Panel Review
"The Panel does not rate demos."
3 people commented on this game (newest first):
Beautiful pixel art graphics, and detailed animations.
Good atmosphere, slow paced.
Intriguing story, good dialogues and general writing. Likeable characters. Feels like a novel.
In the demo it is not an issue but it is true that the general pace is slow including the character moving around. If there are more locations it would be nice to have a run option or have the ability to teleport to certain rooms using a map or something like that.
Overall a fantastic game, looking forward to the full version.
Pros:
- excellent atmosphere.
- outstanding animations.
- Documented from a historical point of view.
Nitpicks:
- the character is a little slow for what appears to be a big castle.
- the demo stops just when it gets interesting!
- I wouldn't lean a ladder on glass :P
This has all the makings for an excellent adventure, would very much like to see Castle Dornstein brought to life.
